Mark the Week: Pension was the bum note of the week

The Mike Hosking Breakfast

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.

Trump: 7/10

All in all, 5% defence spending at NATO, a ceasefire that holds, and talks with Iran next week. It's not bad.

Rob Penney: 8/10

From last year to this. That's one of sports great stories, and I assume involves tremendous amounts of well-deserved satisfaction.

Whanau Ora and Tama Iti and Moana Pasifika: 2/10

Central Government yet again missing the politically triggering stuff they promised to address.

David Seymour: 7/10

As Acting Prime Minister in the house and in media, he is a very solid, considered set of hands with good wit to go with it.

Golden visas: 8/10

That is practical thinking, making tangible difference. 189 applications and $800million worth of business - let's go NZ!

Wealth and the pension: 2/10

Bum note of the week. Targeting those who actually worked hard to save to help in retirement should never be used as a punishment. And the Retirement Commissioner might like to ask herself whether she understands her job.
