Mark the Week: Ardern was famous for doing nothing around discipline and I am astonished Hipkins wants to match her

Published: March 23, 2023, 8:45 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

Scott Robertson: 8/10

A shambles of a process but the best bloke got the job he deserved.

\xa0

Stuart Nash: 3/10

Not so much a repeat offender, more of a serial offender and unbelievably he is still in cabinet. But then that\u2019s not on him.

\xa0

Chris Hipkins: 4/10

No, it's on him. Ardern was famous for doing nothing around discipline and I am astonished Hipkins wants to match her.

\xa0

Electric charging hubs: 7/10

And in this brain fart lies the trouble. Michael Wood spews forth a thought bubble, it has no cost or timeframe so therefore it isn't happening. Yet it's reported as news.

\xa0

Auckland Airport: 7/10

At least their idea has, 1) a cost, 2) a timeframe and, 3) a picture, so you can see what it's going to look like.

\xa0

The Warriors: 8/10

This lot look like the real deal. Andrew Webster might well be the magic. Hold on - could this be our year?

\xa0

New Zealand: 7/10

We're the 10th happiest place in the world, which either makes the world fairly miserable or us in a coma of disorientation.

\xa0

Posie Parker: 7/10

She got more publicity than she ever could have dreamed of. \xa0

\xa0

Pies: 2/10

Goodman Fielder are laying people off in Palmerston and Oamaru because they're exiting pies. When you don\u2019t make pies in New Zealand you may as well turn the lights out.
