Mark the Week: The gang laws represent a turning of the tide
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.     Basketball: 7/10  The most popular school sport in the country. Who doesn’t love a pick-up game and a lay-up?    The gang laws: 7/10  Because they represent a turning of the tide, a restoration of some common sense and some realisation of just how shabby this place had become.    World War III: 3/10  Let's keep our powder dry, shall we? A missile does not an escalation make. You might remember we are still waiting for Iran to respond in the other war and that was an age ago.    Dairy: 9/10  If we hit $10, that's a record. What a year, and what a time to have a year.    Glastonbury: 8/10  Sold out in 35 minutes, costs $700 and you got no idea who's on stage.    Taylor Swift: 3/10  With an education system like ours in the state it's in, is it really wise to spruik a Taylor Swift course? Is that really your calling card?    LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
