Mark the Week: Winston Peters got exactly what he wanted

Published: March 21, 2024, 9:25 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

Common sense: 7/10\xa0

You can't beat a good dose of it - the Kainga Ora crackdown, part of a growing trend where a lot of ideological gobbledygook gets put right. And you can add the vape decisions to this week's offerings \xa0\xa0

\xa0

The plug-in hybrid back down: 6/10\xa0

When you overreach you see it and fix it. That's almost as good as common sense.\xa0

\xa0

Conspiracy theories: 2/10\xa0

The blight of the age. I can't work it out. Even when you saw the video at Windsor people still questioned it. Is it stupidity? It's wilful stupidity, mesmerising stupidity, mixed with a next level gormlessness.\xa0

\xa0

Winston Peters: 7/10\xa0

He got exactly what he wanted. Surely even he must be surprised that a trick that old still works.\xa0

\xa0

The recession: 2/10\xa0

The second one now. That\u2019s called a double dip recession and brought to you by the same people that oversaw the aforementioned crime stats.\xa0

\xa0

The French: 7/10\xa0

First in the world to pass laws around fast fashion. I doubt they will work but the intent deserves credit.\xa0

\xa0

Ryan Fox: 8/10\xa0

Tournaments, prize money and trophies come and go. But a hole in one on the greatest hole in golf is forever.\xa0
