Mark the Week: I think this is the year of the recovery

Published: April 27, 2023, 8:39 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.

Joe Biden: 6/10

He get's a half decent mark for, basically, hanging in there. But look at the numbers - he's underwater, he's old and he may not even know he's running.

\xa0

Tucker Carlson: 2/10

He can put videos out until he's blue in the face. The facts are that he is a fraud. Authenticity is the key to everything in broadcasting. You can't say one thing while believing another, it will get you every time.

Housing: 7/10

I see light. More lending, more first time buyers and a change to the Government's caps and rules. I think this is the year of the recovery.

\xa0

The Nats: 6/10

The RSE workers plan and the promises to the farmers equals good, basic, problem solving stuff that will serve them well.

\xa0

David Parker: 4/10

What a strange bloke. We had a report that allegedly is going nowhere so, once again, we ask - what on earth was the point?

\xa0

London: 8/10

What an amazing place. What a confident, world class city. Flags are up, barricades are out, the prepping and practice is on and this time next week it'll be fever pitch. But....

\xa0

The weather in London: 3/10

As beautiful as London may be, British weather is crap.

\xa0

Wellington: 3/10

30km/h speed limit for 90 percent of the streets. Elect yourself a Green or two and that\u2019s what you get.

\xa0

Our current account deficit: 2/10

The IMF has up alongside Greece and Cyprus. Greece and Cyprus, economically, are laughing stocks - so what's that make us?
