Mark the Week: Where is the meeting with Putin?

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. 

 

New Zealand: 7/10 

We're the 3rd safest country in the world and about to outgrow Australia. How's that for openers? 

 

Horticulture NZ: 7/10 

Their plan is to double export returns within 10 years. That’s the sort of attitude that turns tides. More please. 

 

Sean O'Loughlin: 8/10 

My hero of the week. He took Auckland Transport to court and won. Brains - 1. Arrogance - nil. 

 

Nicola vs Tory: 6/10 

Who doesn’t love a bitch slap? And who doesn’t think Nicola has an excellent point? 

 

Principals: 4/10 

Or at least the ones who wrote to the Education Minister asking for her to stop her reforms. In that letter is so much that’s wrong with education – people overseeing failure and yet not wanting change. 

 

Putin: 3/10 

You forgot that, didn’t you? Where is the meeting? Where is the place? Where is the date? Did Trump get stiffed?
