Mark the Week: It's a bad week of data for the economy

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Tuesdays

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.    The economy: 4/10  Between the GDP and the current account, it’s a bad week of data. You could argue the upside is it might be the worst of it. It might be better from here on in.    Whining unions: 3/10  This week it was relief teachers. Name me the last time unions said something, anything, positive.    The race edict: 8/10  Because doing stuff, handing stuff out, based on nothing more than race is racist.    The All Blacks: 7/10  Australia comes at just the right time. What we need off two losses is someone pretty useless. Australia - come on in.    Liam Lawson: 9/10  If the word is accurate, by the time the weekend is out we will have our next full-time driver in F1.    Federated Farmers: 125/10  That’s a birthday worth celebrating and of all the advocacy groups, I think they could be close to being my favourite.    LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
