Mark the Week: Youth wages is the policy of the week

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.    Trump: 1/10  I reckon it's been his worst week yet. The polls have tanked, the House flip is on, SCOTUS rejected him on mail-ins, the Fed rejected him on interest rates, more Republicans than ever swapped sides to vote against the war, and his name is not on the Kennedy Centre.    Youth wages: 7/10  Policy of the week. It's easy to bag if you're a union, but it actually makes sense and actually solves a problem.    AI: 6/10  Because the debate got real intense, and earnest, and fast. But, small clue, we aren't getting wiped out. So if you panicked you should have focused more on Sydney Sweeney.    Supermarkets: 1/10  The biggest amount of combined idiocy I have seen in a campaign in years. Shallow as a puddle.    The Warriors: 9/10  Glass half-full – if we had won last week we wouldn’t have this weekend, and who doesn’t want this weekend?    LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
