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. 

 

Adrian Orr: 3/10 

Adrian isn't my hero of the week. He did what he should have done, but the way he did it yet again reminds us that the Covid experiment and the economic carnage that went with it is the result of people who could have done a vastly better job. 

 

Elon Musk: 4/10 

When your reputation is already hurting the value of your car company, interviewing a mate on your other company platform, only for that to not work either, isn't a good look. 

 

Kamala Harris: 7/10 

It's been a week of evidence that, to this point at least, shows the “switch out” has worked. People are engaged, the polls have closed, and the momentum is hers. 

 

Crime: 2/10 

41,000 up to 50,000 retail incidents. For all the noise, promises and headlines I'm pretty sure the stats show it's going the wrong way. 

 

The crime committee set up to reverse the retail crime stats: 2/10 

Despite the promise the first ideas were weeks away, weeks later they haven't even met. 

 

The All Blacks: 6/10 

They will win well, because that’s what they do, and more than 25,000 will watch it. I hope.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Time now to mark the week little piece of news
and current of instance as popular as a superman outfit
at Wolworths. Rob Scott eight who Rob's a district mayor.
Rob's my hero of the week because Rob has seen
what we see and says we've got too many councils
in this country and his idea is he takes the
four in his area, makes them two go Rob Adrian three.
I apologize that there were no pictures for some of

(00:21):
these people. Adrian is not my hero of the week.
He did what he should have done, of course, but
the way he did it yet again reminds us that
the COVID experiment and the economic carnage that went with
it is the result of people who could have done
a vastly better job owing four company cock up of
the week. Not only can't they make claims properly, the
spaceship they sent the two astronauts up to the iss

(00:42):
On is still broken, so they got told this week
they're there till next year. Speaking of space Elon four,
were your reputations already hurting the value of your car
company interviewing a mate on your other company platform, only
for that not to work either, is not a good look.
Karmela seven, Are you ready to get to work? Watch
of evidence to this point at least that the switch
out has worked. People are engaged, the polls have closed,

(01:05):
and the momentum is hers new was supercomputer six. Well,
from next week they'll be able to forecast Christmas afternoon
for you down to the half second, apparently or not.
Meth an x seven smooth move of the week. Close
your factory, sell your gas to desperate power companies for
more than you sell it for offshore, with not even
a hint of embarrassment. Crime too forty one thousand up

(01:27):
to fifty thousand retail incidents. For all the noise, all
the promises, all the headlines, I'm pretty sure the stats
show it's going the wrong way. Are the Crime committee
set up to reverse the retail crime stats going the
wrong ones? Two? Despite the promise the first ideas were
just weeks away. Weeks later, they haven't even met Ukraine eight.
What they've achieved this past week or so might might

(01:50):
have turned the war. Are the all Black six? They'll
win well because that's what they do, and more than
twenty five thousand will watch it, I hope. Although I've
got a story on that, and that is the week
copies on the website. And if you take two hundred
and thirty five at these, by the way, and compress
them tightly with a Baylor, you have a Markweek fire
starter and an easy way to say power and big
electricity bills. For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen
