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. 

 

Attention seekers: 1/10 

What a dreadful week as we gave far too much energy to narcissists who masquerade as people with causes, both at sea and on land. 

 

Noeline: 2/10 

Still nothing. How badly handled can a badly handled scandal be handled? 

 

Winston Peters: 7/10 

In between cleaning up the glass on his dog, his Pacific reset speech was a reminder of what a considered and sensible Foreign Minister he is. 

 

Chlöe Swarbrick: 1/10 

The party under her leadership really has become farcical. If Palestine was a national park, it might make sense. 

 

Chris Hipkins: 3/10 

Telling us how appalling it was that Winston's house got smashed but then didn’t vote for the new protest law. H.Y.P.O.C.R.I.T.E.
