Mark the Week: They’ve blown this for us and the economy

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 Reserve Bank: 2/10

"The important issue of the week. The facts, now laid bare, show they’ve blown this for us and the economy.

The bailout has begun to the tune of $9 billion and counting.

What's not to review?"

 

David Seymour: 6/10

"Most sensible political point of the week. He wouldn’t have indemnified the Reserve Bank when they printed money.

Grant Robertson knew better and look where that got us.

At least $150 million a month, every month for five years."

 

The Green Party Leadership Vote: 2/10

"What a staggeringly ill-conceived and hair brained cock up.

Who is the candidate? Hello? Anyone home? Hello, did anyone think about a plan?"

 

Christopher Luxon's Te Puke/Hawaii Drama: 4/10

"He was let down by a media team that should have known better on a day when he wanted to talk about more important issues."

 

Commonwealth Games: 6/10

"To be honest, I'm not gripped. The games have an invented competition feel about it

But good sport is good sport and winning is always cool."

 

Ian Foster and the All Blacks' Changes: 7/10

"Sacrificial lambs were offered. Can we get off his case now?"

 

Liam Lawson: 8/10

"Great weekend in France where he won another race.

He's another step closer to the F1 dream."

 

The Weather: 2/10

"Aren't we sick of it?"
