Mark the Week: The Covid report tells us what we already knew

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.    The Warriors: 8/10  Come on! Let's start with the good news – we're one from one. A thrashing against a good side and another home game tonight.    Mariameno Kapa-Kingi: 6/10  She's back. Whether she likes being back is another thing, but good on her for fighting her corner and exposing her crappy little party.    The Covid report: 6/10  Told us what we already knew and changes nothing. Listen to Hipkins. You reckon he knows how to say sorry?    Oil: 1/10  If you ever wanted proof over how far off we are in renewables, check our reaction to $120 a barrel.    Trump: 2/10  It's over, it's not over, we need to win more, we've only just got started, I could end it today, I could end it in an hour. He redefines mental.    LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
