Mark the Week: Brian Tamaki broke the camel's back
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.
Overall, a good news week, but a reminder that until we get the jobs right we ain’t properly right.
Foster and Hansen: 9/10
The wackiest story of the week by a mile. Could it be real? Could it be fantasy? Are the union completely mad, or completely brilliant?
It needs to lead somewhere tangible. Having a lot of emails and photos of underwear and sleaze and tawdriness is not a crime, it's just yuck. Where is the crime?
Brian Tamaki: 7/10
An application for a bridge too far. No more protests, no more closures, no more madness. We thank you Brian. You broke the camel's back.
Melania: 7/10
An interesting insight into our times. It's an example of how the camps are the camps, and the gap has never been wider. It was rubbished, ridiculed and written off and, yet, for a documentary it did excellent business. Everything is political and very little has any nuance. It's sad.
