Mark the Week: The MBIE scandal was as bad as it gets

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.    Social media: 3/10  Between National and their lack of numbers and Meta and the Attorney Generals folding, it was tech – 1 vs the rest of us – 0.    NZ wine: 7/10  Wasn’t that an uplifting story? Australian wine is tanking at a time when our sales continue to rise, and volume and value are on the up. To be fair, yellowtail does remove stains in your sink.    MBIE scandal: 1/10  As bad as it gets and yet with no consequences. Only in the public service...    Dolly Parton: A life of achievement  In some respects, the highlight of the week, ironically. Universally loved, bigger than what made her famous, more clever than you might have imagined, and a story of longevity and continued relevance.  Beyond politics, in a country deeply divided, and a life you could barely fault. 80 was too young, but surely the quality is what counts.    LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
