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 Māori Party: 1/10 

They get a '1' because they are legitimately there because of votes, and that’s democracy. As for the rest of the performance, they are a joke and an embarrassment to this country. 

 

The Greens: 2/10 

They get a '2' and not a '1' only because they get more support in the polls. But the prospect of Labour letting them round a Cabinet table? Book my ticket out. 

 

Trump: 3/10 

One better than the Greens because to counter tariffs of others is not free trade, but it is understandable. As for the rest, he's mental. 

 

The Warriors: 7/10 

Because three in a row is three in a row. And two more points this weekend, which on the Mike Hosking scoresheet, is four in a row. 

 

The America's Cup: 4/10 

I never thought it was going to held here so I wasn’t surprised, or disappointed. Although, in the spirit of being open for business, I would have liked to have seen a bit more enthusiasm from the Government. Pleading poverty is a poor man's game, not a go getter's. 

 

The jobs report: 2/10 

Saddest story of the week for me. To have over half the country regretting their career is a study in lack of planning, or lack of action, or lack of living life to the full.
