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. 

 

Christopher Luxon: 8/10 

Stared them down, again, and they folded like an umbrella. 

 

Chris Penk: 1/10 

Not only did he get sucked in in the first place, he paid the ultimate price for a flop. 

 

Chris Bishop: 2/10 

He can say what he likes, but we know. 

 

Erica Stanford: 3/10 

She can say what she likes, if she was saying anything at all. Let's put it this way; if they ran the country like they ran a coup, we'd really be in trouble. 

 

Hipkins in Rotorua: 3/10 

"Emergency housing got a bit out of control." Did it Chris? Honestly. And no apology? The guy is a robot. 

 

Trump in the food delivery truck: 8/10 

And he takes Hegseth but leaves Rubio, Miller, and Bessent on board the old one with the blinds down. Who needs enemies?
