Mark the Week: Whangarei's fluoride meeting was both gold and farcical

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.    GDP: 7/10  Or should that be 0.7? It’s a bigger number than they thought and an indication that we have finally turned the corner.    The Covid loan deadline: 3/10  A sad, sad, sad reminder of why the 0.7% in GDP has taken so long to get here. Close to $1 billion owed and what do you reckon the chances of it all coming back are?    Whangarei and their fluoride meeting: 2/10  Read the Spinoff blow by blow account. It's gold, unless you live there and pay for it. Then it's farcical.    The wars: 3/10  Dreadful week. The Trump call to Putin was a joke and the ceasefire fell to bits.    Ted Lasso: 8/10  Another series when they said there wasn’t another series.    F1: 7/10  New Zealand ratings show half a million of us watched. That would make it the most watched programme of the week, or close to it.    LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
