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.

Vote counting: 2/10

They've told us for years reading and writing and math is an issue in our schools. Did the people who struggled end up at the Electoral Commission?

Mt Albert: 3/10

The election review leak whining about everyone except yourself is an insight into what a mess Labour is.

Chris Hipkins: 7/10

A good week. He holds the job and, given the hospital pass he got from Ardern, deserves a crack on his own terms.

His own terms: 2/10

First thing he does is raise tax talk. Read. The. Room.

Chloe Swarbrick: 1/10

Buffoon.

Willie Jackson: 1/10

Double buffoon.

The new Government: 3/10

What new Government?

Christchurch: 7/10

According to this week's survey it's the 10th most popular city in the world to move to.
