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 campaign: 4/10 

Is it just me or has the mental stuff with ice cream and dumb questions started so early that we will be suicidal by November? 

 

PREFU: 7/10 

Confirmed widely held suspicions that our economy is on the way back in a material way. 

 

Labour: 4/10 

Bad first week. Got busted on equity and the CGT promise appears problematic now that housing isn't growing. 

 

The EU FTA climate mess: 1/10 

It's one thing for a bunch of Dutch losers to whine, but to be backed by Kiwis, even if they are radicals, is treasonous. 

 

The Opportunity Party: 2/10 

Shot themselves in the foot with bottom lines. They may as well have named their favourite colours.
