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 Border Re-Opening Plan: 8/10 "Not a moment too soon and light at the end of a destructive, nasty, and devastating tunnel for too many New Zealanders who have seen their dreams shattered. May the bars be full, the planes land, and the holidays begin." The Red Light Setting: 1/10 "Increasingly nonsensical. You can't have tourists and then tell them what not to do. And you can't have locals isolating while holiday makers don’t." Holiday and Critical Visas Opening Up: 6/10 "Because anything is better than what we have had. But it's not remotely enough." Petrol Excise Tax Cut: 3/10 "Because although we would all take cheaper anything, it was a sop to a bad poll, not a smart economic move. And yet again it's funded by debt." Fruit and Vege Prices: 17/10 "As in 17 percent up. What's that got to do with the war? Nothing. It's got to do with labour they couldn’t find and an inflation environment that has been allowed to get out of control." Elizabeth Kerekere's Covid Breach: 0/10 "We started of the week never heard of her. We end off the week wishing we never had." Formula One: 8/10 "New season this weekend, Drive to Survive is a must watch and Liam Lawson has a seat with AlphaTauri. Much to be excited about." The Warriors: 4/10 "Not a disaster. But 0 from 1 is hardly the start you want." LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEWSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. |
