Mark the Week: What a move from the Reserve Bank

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 campaign: 4/10 

When Chlöe and Winston agree it's bad, you've got to listen.  

Polls: 4/10 

There has to be some sort of reckoning around this stuff. The RNZ Reid Research poll was rogue, clearly, the spread is absurd and the methodology is ropey as all you-know-what. Who is actually paying for this nonsense?  

The Reserve Bank: 8/10 

What a move! What a vote, and the Governor might be the Government's best appointment of the past three years.  

Apple: 2/10 

How is it in 2026 we are still putting phones into the market, charging thousands, and they break upon opening?  

Christchurch stadium: 1/10 

It's the Apple question – why in 2026 are we still building stuff that doesn’t work the way it should?
