Mark the Week: About as good as it gets, what an honour

Published: May 4, 2023, 8:50 p.m.

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.

\xa0

Strikes: 2/10

I get the frustration. But whether you are here in Britain or home in NZ the teachers, the nurses, anything connected to a union, are never happy. Being happy counts - try it sometime. It's good for you.

\xa0

Bonding for nurses: 6/10

Another practical idea from National this week. I'm not 100% convinced it'll work but it's better than what we have.

\xa0

London: 8/10

The greatest city in the world. It\u2019s a magnet, it's polite, it's old, it's beautiful and it\u2019s a place that makes you feel good.

\xa0

The Coronation: 8/10

The excitement and anticipation is palpable. No one does the flash stuff like the Brits and the royals.

\xa0

Monica Galletti: 7/10

Good to meet and be reminded of the astonishing number of Kiwis who are out here in the world hitting it out of the park.

\xa0

Meka Whaitiri: 1/10

What a disgrace.

\xa0

The M\u0101ori\xa0Party: 6/10

What a coup.

\xa0

The feebate scandal: 3/10

Another lie. They said it would be fiscally neutral, which they could never claim, given they didn\u2019t have a clue as to who would buy what. It's been the wealthy being subsidised by the not-so-wealthy to buy Teslas. How mad cap does it get?

\xa0

The Invite: 10/10

To be the only New Zealand representative from the media in The Abbey tomorrow is about as good as it gets. What an honour.
