Mark the Week: Luxon stared them down again

from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

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.    Christopher Luxon: 8/10  Stared them down, again, and they folded like an umbrella.    Chris Penk: 1/10  Not only did he get sucked in in the first place, he paid the ultimate price for a flop.    Chris Bishop: 2/10  He can say what he likes, but we know.    Erica Stanford: 3/10  She can say what she likes, if she was saying anything at all. Let's put it this way; if they ran the country like they ran a coup, we'd really be in trouble.    Hipkins in Rotorua: 3/10  "Emergency housing got a bit out of control." Did it Chris? Honestly. And no apology? The guy is a robot.    Trump in the food delivery truck: 8/10  And he takes Hegseth but leaves Rubio, Miller, and Bessent on board the old one with the blinds down.
