Mark the Week: We love travel, even in a cost-of-living crisis

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. 

 

The school holidays: 7/10

760,000 will fly these next two weeks, which doesn’t include the thousands who have already flown from private school, which doesn’t include the thousands who drive. We love travel, even in a cost-of-living crisis. 

 

Joe Biden: 1/10 

Debates rarely turn out much but this time last week the world changed. Deciding to stay is a massive mistake his party will pay a price for. 

 

Rishi Sunak: 4/10 

Worked hard to limit the damage, but is the classic victim of the bloke who came along at the end of the chain and is there when the hammer goes down. 

 

Emmanuel Macron: 2/10 

Idiotic move of the year. The Tories were always going to get smashed but the Europe vote didn’t need to lead to what he then did. And this Sunday he will see how bad that mistake was. 

 

Newshub: 4/10 

It's been dragged out too long with far too much gnashing and wailing from people who still think they are a mile more important than they are. The fact is they couldn’t get an audience to attract the ads to pay the bills. You monetise or die. But less media is not good so ultimately we are all losers. 

 

The All Blacks: 7/10

The first test is always full of anticipation and England are a good way to start as we welcome in the Razor years.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Timed out to mark the week. Little piece of news
and current events that's more popular than Seat seventeen, c
Auckland and Andy for the schoolholes, ah, the schoolholes seven.
It's seven hundred and sixty thousand people are going to
be flying these next two weeks, which doesn't include the
thousands have already flyn from private school, which doesn't include
the thousands who drive. We love travel, even in a
cost of living crisis. Joe Biden won handicap debates really

(00:25):
turn out much this time last week, though, the world changed,
and that Joe Biden to hell. It's Joe Biden. Joe's
on the buttons. Joe's on the buttons, deciding to stay
as a massive mistake. His party will pay the price
for that. Donald Trump eight, how did they do with
the other name? Broken down? Not just the debate, but

(00:48):
two court cases turned his way. That there has really
been a bitter week for him. Rishie Snak four. My
favorite meal generally is sandwiches. That is, I'm a big
sandwich person. Worked hard to limit the damage, but as
the classic victim of the bloke who came along at
the end of the chain and is there when the
hammer goes down Emmanuel Macrontu idiotic move of the year.

(01:09):
The Tories were always going to get smashed, but the
europe vote didn't need to lead to what it did.
This Sunday, we'll see how bad that mistake was. July seven. July, No,
just July seven. Still this is going well this morning,
isn't it. The producer doesn't laugh at the host. July

(01:31):
seven Because a lot of logical good stuff happened this week.
You got your bright line test, a tax change to
fuel tax, family support, more cops getting stuck into the
crime were a mile away from being out of this,
of course, but some good reassuring stuff was in there
to give us some hope. I think us hub for
it's been dragged out far too long, with far too
many gnashing and whaling their teeth from people who think

(01:51):
they're a mile more important than they actually are. The
factors they couldn't get an audience, to attract the ads,
to pay the bills, humanetize or die. But less media
is not good. So ultimately I'm afraid to say we're
all losers, are the worries? Seven? Yes, after the Titans
being able to write a ship that's a skill and
given the cirks. You want to save this school testing

(02:11):
seven more common sense for goodness sake. Auckland seven because
the city came a ninth in the world. Has been
livable now even though it's not true, it's on a
chart and that's got to be good for your reputation.
Southland eight most productive successful region in the country. Go
you good thing? Are the all Black seven? The first
test is always full of anticipation in England. Are a

(02:33):
good way to start. I reckon and we welcome in
the raizy years and we love raising, don't we? And
that's the week copies on the website and by the way,
parts two and three of this will be replaced tomorrow night,
indonedin and sung instead of the national anthem. For more
