Mark the Week: The power industry reform was the Govt's weak point

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 All Blacks: 8/10 

That was the best match of the Rugby Championship. In a competition where everyone has beaten everyone, we have seen a sign that quality rugby is on the up. 

 

Winston Peters: 7/10 

It took too long to get there but his speech in New York was logical and devoid of the emotive nonsense that has clouded too much of the debate. 

 

The power industry reform: 4/10 

The weak point for the Government this week. Not that any of it was bad because it wasn’t. But what it also wasn't was what they had built it up to be. 

 

Jimmy Kimmel: 7/10 

He's back, ratings are up, and all the stations have backed down in a sign free speech wins, which is ironic given those who shut him up pretended they liked free speech until, clearly, they didn’t. 

 

The Ryder Cup: 2/10 

Sport's low point of the week. When golf looks like WWE and Rory's Mrs is in tears, something has gone dreadfully wrong.
