Mark the Week: 'C-listers' was the burn of the week

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. 

 

C-listers: 7/10 

Burn of the week. I love people who call it like it is. 

 

Granny flats: 7/10 

A common sense policy and we need more of it. 

 

GDP: 8/10 

Come on! We beat Australia! Can't you feeeell the growth? Surely this makes us a rockstar economy again? Surely? Right? 

 

The Defence Force plane: 3/10 

The outworkings of numerous Governments that lacked back bone and never understood basic investment. 

 

Sail GP in Christchurch: 4/10 

They said they wouldn't be back, and they won't be. When a dolphin beats growth, tourism, marketing and income it explains a lot about the malaise. 

 

Janet Dickson: 6/10 

Good luck to her. Real estate agents get what her argument is, but I suspect she will lose in court. 

 

Eden Park: 8/10 

A Super Rugby game sold out. About damn time. 

 

Joseph Parker: 8/10 

Warm vibes from me. A really nice guy who sits comfortably these days in his own skin. It's been awesome to watch the journey over the last decade.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Time out to mark the week. Little piece of news
and current events that's more popular than a parking spot
at a green party soiree. Princess of Wales nine day,
She's looked radiant, sheese looked well, she lifted our spirits
and wasn't many respects The highlight of the week for
me anyway. Sea List is seven very watered down. The
Sea List really burner the week. I love people who

(00:20):
call it like its greenny flat seven common sense. Let's
have more common sense, shall we? Peter Dutton six overtook
Elbow as preferred prime minister this week. Remember this bloke
allegedly was unelectable. It is a remarkable turnaround Nigel Farage.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Isn't it funny?

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Speaking of turnarounds. It's built on hype, not stable policy
and foundations. But that's how the game works, and he
works the game like few others. He is the story
of the UK race. So far A might end up
being the story of the night a GDP eighty You camel,
you come on, we beat Australia. Can't you feel the
greath Surely this makes us the rockstar economy. Surely are

(00:57):
the plane three?

Speaker 2 (00:58):
That's disappointing that the plane can't get us there.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Ye outworking some numerous governments that lacked a backbone and
never understood basic investment the plane. It is embarrassing, But
then it happens to other countries as well, does it?
Because I think this was the final straw. I think
this was so pathetic we will actually do something about it.
Sale GP for they said they wouldn't be back, and

(01:20):
they won't be. When a dolphin beats growth and tourism
and marketing and income explains a lot about the Malays turbulence. Three.
I mean Wellington, Queenstown and the coffee is all over
the place. Why do we insist on wanting cheap chips
and bad coffee on short flights? Janet Dixon six? The
mainstream media, you've got an attitude and they just won't
budge good luck to real estate agents. Get what the

(01:42):
argument's all about. But I suspect in court she's going
to lose. Sadly. Screwt neew Weeks seven.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
I don't know who mixed it up. It was that
in Minnesota should have muck up. Do you think I'd
be nervous to front Goldie or something?

Speaker 1 (01:53):
If you followed it actually worked out as a good idea.
I learned a bit. A lot of questions got asked,
some revealing answers got given, some got caught out, some
perform Well. It was a valuable exercise, I think, Eden
park Hey, it's.
