Mark the Week: It's been a good week for Jetstar
Listen now
Description
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 Northland transmission tower: 1/10  If you made it up, they wouldn’t believe you.    The ferry: 3/10  A bit more believable given the track record leading up, but it's still no less depressing.    The Warriors: 1/10  Almost as bad as taking too many nuts and bolts out.    Pharmac: 7/10  Because on balance, a naive promise that was broken got rectified in a pretty impressive way and a lot of people get the help they need because of it.    Julian Assange: 6/10  On balance it's probably fair.

I'm not sure about Cairns. But more domestic choice is good.    The fast track poll: 6/10  Proof that a bit of common sense is actually what a chunk of New Zealanders want. Maybe the media can reflect more of that instead of seeking out the moaners all day long    LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
