Mark the Week: Erica Stanford's email was time-wasting nonsense

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.    Anthony Albanese: 8/10  Better than anyone, and I suspect even he, expected.    Nigel Farage: 8/10  Better than anyone, and I suspect even he, expected.    Donald Trump: 6/10  Between the redecorating tips, the movie move, the GDP going backwards, Mark Carney, whatever the Middle East announcement is, the deals he wants to do, the deals he doesn’t want to do, his withdrawal of another nomination, defunding of public broadcasting, his outrage over the Emmy nod for the interview he's suing over, plane loads of illegal's to Syria, Lord knows how many court cases - and that’s just this week! Have you ever seen a more omnipresent international player?    Erica Stanford's email: 2/10  The biggest time-wasting nonsense of the week.    Adrian Orr's farewell: 4/10  The saddest thing you ever heard. $6,000 for water, juice and biscuits.    LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
