Mark the Week: A good week for NZ Inc.

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.    NZ Inc.: 7/10  A good week. Building consents, credit demand, house listings – up, up and up.    Noeline Taurua: 6/10  Spoke for the first time, but in a way where the knots you are tied up in get in the way of the words.    SCOTUS: 2/10  It went about as badly as you might have expected, unless you thought an argument about being a megalomaniac with uncontrollable powers was going to fly.    Sir David Beckham: 8/10  He is a story of inspiration and lovely with it. I'm a fanboy.    New York: 2/10  Mamdani is likeable and slick. But so was Jacinda.    Transmission Gully: 2/10  How can a new road need $32 million worth of repairs, unless you didn’t do it properly in the first place? Which then leads to the question - why didn’t you do it properly in the first place?    LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
