Mark the Week: Marsden and the rebuild is what's wrong with coalitions

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.    Andrew Bayly: 3/10  It’s a sad business. Was it a sackable offence? No. Does it put people off entering politics? I would have thought so. But when you call someone a loser and grab an arm, can you survive? It was the re-offence that was sackable.    Law and order: 8/10  The violent crime stats and new detainment powers are tangible evidence of progress in the right direction.    Marsden and the rebuild: 2/10  That’s what is wrong with coalitions. They indulge folly.    Temu: 3/10  We are spending more there and less domestically. Never underestimate the power of cheap crap.    Tory Whanau: 1/10  Cancelling her Newstalk ZB slot is the beginning of the end. Cancelling Newstalk ZB slots doesn’t tend to go well for voting patterns – I speak from experience.    The Warriors: 7/10  Unbeaten in the offseason and some fairly ordinary, blow-up bat-wielding Raiders to tackle first up.    LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEWSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
