Mark the Week: The Greens shouldn't be let near a calculator

Publish Date

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: 7/10

In totality she did quite a lot with next to nothing and the intent and messaging, I hope, gave hope. Because boy do we need hope. Oh, and also a surplus.

The Green's budget: 1/10

They shouldn’t even be allowed near a calculator. When nurses get pay cuts because of tax you know you are dealing with nutters.

The Privileges Committee debate: 6/10

Because at last the committee came to the party on rule breaking and at least attempted to right the egregious mess the place has become.

The Warriors: 8/10

They just keep on winning. And this weekend at home against the Raiders - what a lip-smacker!

The Golden Dome: 6/10

Is it even real? Can you build a dome in three years and, if you can, how come we can't build a road in that time?

Smith & Caugheys: 2/10

That is what arrogance, incompetence, blind ideology and lack of vision does for a city.
