New Zealand's economy could look to benefit from Fonterra’s proposed sale.

The proposed sale of Anchor and Mainland brands to French company Lactalis could unlock around 4.5 billion in additional spending.

ASB Chief Economist Nick Tuffley says they estimate around 60 percent of shareholding farms could receive at least 200-thousand dollars.

He says the likely pay out would happen in the first half of next year, so after then,  the impacts on farm investments or consumer spending would be seen.

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: 1/10 

I reckon it's been his worst week yet. The polls have tanked, the House flip is on, SCOTUS rejected him on mail-ins, the Fed rejected him on interest rates, more Republicans than ever swapped sides to vote against the war, and his name is not on the Kennedy Centre. 

 

Youth wages: 7/10 

Policy of the week. It's easy to bag if you're a union, but it actually makes sense and actually solves a problem. 

 

AI: 6/10 

Because the debate got real intense, and earnest, and fast. But, small clue, we aren't getting wiped out. So if you panicked you should have focused more on Sydney Sweeney. 

 

Supermarkets: 1/10 

The biggest amount of combined idiocy I have seen in a campaign in years. Shallow as a puddle. 

 

The Warriors: 9/10 

Glass half-full – if we had won last week we wouldn’t have this weekend, and who doesn’t want this weekend?

Mark the Week: Youth wages is the policy of the week

How about our week of angst? 

Take your pick, because there were hot takes galore. 

Sydney Sweeney was the funniest. The ad agency that dreamed up that campaign must be lining up for a bonus. 

Because the airtime it got in the end outweighed any actual cost by about 10:1. It went white hot viral as millions raged about boobs and sexuality and insulting female athletes. 

All of which it did of course, but that was the point. Did no one work out that was the point? Get Sweeney partially naked, say "sports, sports, sports" a lot and queue the fury. 

The ol' sexuality card is the oldest trick in the book and we're still falling for it. 

Hyrox was just plain weird. An unfortunate scenario mid routine and the whole rule book is changed out based on the outrage. 

The woman concerned didn’t seem overly worried, having appeared on social media seemingly making light of it. 

Then you've got Harry and Meghan. I blame the media, mainly the British. But their school upheaval went viral globally and it turned out the security issue for the kids was a bit of traffic. 

It's once again a reminder that these two are the worst sort of attention-seeking grifters and I now genuinely feel sorry for the kids. Their Mum and Dad are buffoons but given they don’t know any better and their attention obsession is seemingly incurable, maybe it’s the media's job to step back and simply ignore them. 

It seems incredible that Lady Gaga, a vastly bigger name than both of them put together, can vanish, give birth and truck a reasonably, well-developed child around and no one knows about it, or sees any of it, unless she decides to let that happen. 

But the biggest and saddest of them all was Macklemore and the fellow travelling try-hards who decided to abandon their friendship with Ed Sheeran by dropping him in it after they, like so many of their lot, felt unable to keep their politics to themselves. 

Sheeran is famously apolitical. It’s a smart move that served Dolly Parton well and yet the musicians, some of whom you would never have heard of if it wasn't for Sheeran's kindness and desire to promote new talent, left him with possibly no American tour after Macklemore got dropped and the rest quit in a fit of pique. 

Is it too much to ask to park the self-importance for a half hour opening act and just play? 

Oh, and to maybe be a decent person for the bloke who's giving you your break? 

So much outrage, so many causes, so much self-importance. 

Lucky the world is such a benign place and we have nothing big to worry about.

Friday has arrived, which means it's time for Kate Hawkesby and Tim Wilson to help Mike Hosking Wrap the Week that Was. 

They discussed award-winning kitchens, how much they'd charge for a Swysh and ... three-ways?
