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 Polls.
7/10.
"The TVNZ Colmar Brunton poll confirms the earlier one was rogue.
But don't we love a poll? Bet you David Seymour is loving the polls."
Quarantine Charging.
0/10.
"What a joke, what a bust, and what a farce. Say one thing, do another and bulldozed by the Greens. Â
The ultimate committee policy where literally no one is happy.
You can't run countries that way."
Behrouz Boochani.
2/10.
"Nothing against the bloke, but when the Greens meet you at the airport, and you're here for a festival with clearly no intention of going home and you’ve already been accepted to America and suddenly, bam, you're in.
It doesn’t add up."
Sarah Dowie.
8/10.
"Went out with a zing and sent some salient messages with it.
Well done her."
Paula Bennett.
8/10.
"Gone with class and style in the valedictory week.
Good stories, good memories, some cold realisations, and a bright future she won't regret."
The Economy.
6/10.
"Spending, tick. Jobs, almost a tick.
New statistics show there is a recovery of sorts, let's hope it holds."
Shaun "The Dark Destroyer" Wallace.
7/10.
He is a good guy. He loves his name.
And in such matters if the so-called victim isn't actually a victim, but in fact perfectly happy, then the luvvies can back the hell up."
Super Rugby Aotearoa and The Crusaders v Hurricanes.
8/10.
"Adding value to the competition by providing proof that on your day anything is possible, and it's not automatically a forgone conclusion."
