Mark the Week: Fluoride is the stupidest debate of the week

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - En podkast av Newstalk ZB - Onsdager

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 New Zealand economy: 6/10  Real signs of life this week. Apples and pears crash through a billion dollars, red meat had big gains outside China, Westpac are forecasting more growth later this year, and real estate is showing signs of turning around. And JB Hi-Fi's profit is through the roof.    The golden visa: 7/10  It's not a panacea but it's a good, solid, tangible start that has been begging to be triggered.    Donald Trump: 8/10  Yes, there is carnage and mayhem and fury and noise but, on balance, it's spectacular watching. And talk about getting stuff done.    Fluoride: 2/10  Stupidest debate of the week. Councils are already snowed under with work, cost, and incompetence. They can't take on a ministry, without a leg to stand on legally, and waste everyone's time huffing and puffing.    McDonald's in Wanaka: 2/10  Second stupidest debate of the week. We either want jobs and growth and tax paid, or we don’t.    The Super Bowl: 8/10  A record audience after a record season. That is how you run a sport.    LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
