Mark the Week: Liam Lawson was up there in terms of debut expectations

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 America's Cup and Spanish tourism: 7/10  Despite the protests and locals telling everyone to go home, more people than ever showed up.    Wellington City Council: 1/10  Now that is a scandal.    The Local Government Minister: 4/10  He has to act, given he's pulled the trigger and made the threat. Reputationally, you can't go round threatening people then doing nothing.    Luxon: 4/10  Out of touch, according to the poll. It's not that he ain’t okay, I think it's really just because he isn't John Key. It's a looooong shadow.    The Solicitor General and her prosecution guidelines: 2/10  Doing exactly the opposite of what the Government wants. Explain that.    Liam Lawson: 8/10  Right up there in terms of debut expectations. Love it or not, F1 is the pinnacle and it’s a truly global event and we are once again flying our flag through a brilliant talent we wish all the very best.    LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
