Mark the Week: The tax treatment for landlords is a return to status quo

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. 

 

Tax treatment for landlords: 6/10 

A return to the status quo, despite all the gnashing of teeth from the luvvies who still haven't got their heads around the election result. 

 

Labour's claim over landlords and millionaires: 2/10 

The fact they couldn’t get basic facts right, and that the facts they put out were so obviously absurd and they didn’t spot it or question it, tells you all you need to know about their connection to economic reality. 

 

Hurricanes rugby: 2/10 

Said it wasn’t acceptable then rolled over for a good spanking the next weekend. 

 

First 100 days in Government: 7/10 

This time last week they ticked it off, they delivered what they said they would... not perfectly, but not bad at all. 

 

Peter Boshier: 4/10 

He's a good person who is the victim of dumb rules. We need to get out of our own way more. 

 

Shane Jones: 7/10 

Politician of the week, taking on the courts activism and taking on the Treaty overreach. He's only marked down on the ski money. When you say there is no more you actually have to mean it. 

 

The Kate photo: 4/10 

The conspiracy theories that exploded as a result of them trying to quell a conspiracy theory.
