Mark the Week: The Budget painted a picture of some actual hope

Published: May 30, 2024, 11:12 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

\xa0

Flybuys: 3/10\xa0

Out as of the end of the year, leaving the country so spend those points.\xa0

\xa0

The Budget: 6/10\xa0

It\u2019s the usual in the sense it's never enough and those who didn\u2019t want to like it, didn\u2019t. But they did a lot with not a lot and the messaging, if you are of a right mind, painted a picture of some actual hope.\xa0

\xa0

The M\u0101ori Party: 1/10\xa0

They too are part of the aforementioned stench of the times. They're negativity mixed with arrogance, from the Parliament hijacking to the hijacking of the roads. In what way are we better off for any of that?\xa0

\xa0

The Warriors: 8/10\xa0

Two on the bounce, both against good sides and both achieved with second stringers. Johnson is back next time out, and we get two easy points this weekend.\xa0

\xa0

The Trump trial: 7/10\xa0

I'm calling a hung jury after five days. What's yours?\xa0

\xa0

Todd Stephenson: 4/10\xa0

Pub test failure. He should have flicked the shares before it became a thing.\xa0

\xa0

Air New Zealand: 6/10\xa0

The 4th best airline in the world.\xa0
