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. 

 

Visas: 7/10 

One of the bright spots of the week. Two more visas and access to labour that solves problems. More please. 

 

Recognising Palestine as a state: 3/10 

Talk about angst for no result. Around and around we go. 

 

Disney Cruises: 4/10 

Can you blame them? You make this the most expensive place in the world to bring a ship – who needs to deal with that? 

 

Mystery meat: 3/10 

What idiot thought of that? 

 

Ardern and her henchpeople: 0/10 

I don't know what else there is to say when you have sunk that low. More fool us. I can only imagine what the 50% of voters who wanted a chunk of that arrogance in 2020 think now.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Time out to mark the week. The little piece of
news and current events that is particularly popular with people
who've lost the plot. Visus seven, one of the bright
spots of the week. Two more visas, visas and access
to labor that solved problems a more, please are the
trachrometer six More bright spots both light and heavy trachometer
markers were up this week. No lot, not lots, but

(00:20):
at least up exports seven. Oh, my lord, Michael, not
more bright spots. Yes, I'm sorry. The good news trainers
full today. Two thirds of our exporters are still banking
the checks and growing their books. Palestine's recognition as a
state three. I mean talk about angst for no result.
Round and round and round we went this week. Disney
Cruiser is four. I mean, can you blame them? You

(00:42):
make this the most expensive place in the world to
bring a ship. Who needs to do all that? In
video five Trump clipping the chip ticket, somebody said the
era of shakedown capitalism alike the line best line of
the week, the era of shakedown capitalism. I don't like
the deal though, Speaking of deals, perplexity seven, you're following
that not for the bit, because no one's taking that seriously,
but for the specter of Google about to be broken up,

(01:04):
as anyone said about Google being broken up, America's Cup
six a bunch of stuff I like, could be a
new era with less bitching, and I'd welcome that. The
Ford Transit sixty, along with the waves Drover, the MX
five and the nine to eleven in a world where
cows and our white goods, basically, sixty is pretty damn good.

(01:26):
We should treasure classics. I reckon Kodak too. You don't
develop no pun intended, you die. They're about to die.
One hundred and thirty three years in dust Warrior Sex.
If still the eight, possibly the four as you've just heard,
is it the title? Is it the title? Yes? Think so?

(01:48):
Mystery Meat three? What idiot thought of that? A Dern
and her hench people zero. If you've got questions about
the COVID response, Vira away, I don't know what else
it is to say when you've sunk that low more
for us, I can only imagine what the fifty percent
of voters who wanted to chunk of that arrogance in

(02:09):
twenty twenty think now. And that is the week copies
on the website, And if you take twenty three of these,
by the way, staple them together and get a yellow highlighter.
