Mark the Week: 'Horse-faced duck' gave a look behind the scenes at Labour

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 Budget: 6/10 

The days of drama are gone. It reflected the state of the place; one with prospects but difficult days ahead and discipline required. 

 

Horse-faced duck: 1/10 

You literally can't make this stuff up. A behind the scenes reality of what will be asking for your vote in a few short months. 

 

Stuff: 2/10 

Their coverage of our acknowledgement to the MP Joseph Mooney over outing him in the Luxon drama was wrong. They said we apologised. We did not apologise, Stuff literally made that up. It's sloppy, unnecessary and lazy. 

 

The moon base: 6/10 

Because it sounds cool, but the timeline of 2032 is six years away. You can't build a kilometre of tarmac in six years, far less house yourself on the moon. 

 

The Ferrari Luce: 1/10 

It's inexplicable.
