Mark the Week: What Fonterra is doing is not to be underestimated

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. 

 

Voting: 8/10 

Democracy is a wonderful thing, and we have seen this week a new president for Sri Lanka and the first vote in America. 

 

Tory Whanau: 4/10 

Four times she opened her mouth and four times the hole got bigger. 

 

Fonterra: 7/10 

What they are doing for farmers and, by connection, the rest of the country at a time of real strife is not to be underestimated. 

 

Working from home: 6/10 

From the amount of whinging I have heard, you would have thought we had been doing it since Victorian times and we've got no idea how to turn up at the office like, you know, each workday. 

 

David Seymour: 6/10 

Most effective politician of the week. He got charter schools into law and cracked down on teacher only days. 

 

Liam Lawson: 9/10 

In one of the biggest global sports going there is a top 20, and a Kiwi is once again right up there.  #dreamscometrue
