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.\xa0

\xa0\xa0

The All Blacks: 8/10\xa0

Here we go. Is it possible we can win? Is Foster a redemption story? Pretty much nothing, sports wise beats the Rugby World Cup and the All Blacks.\xa0

Or does it?\xa0

\xa0\xa0

The Warriors: 8/10\xa0

Putting last week behind us as quickly as possible, what chance we beat the Panthers? What chance we go all the way? What chance that this is our year?\xa0

\xa0\xa0

The election campaign: 7/10\xa0

Because with the launches it got real. So then, the launches and the week;\xa0

\xa0\xa0

Labour: 4/10\xa0

A chaotic launch. Too many loose MP's with lies, two bad polls and bad policies, especially yesterday's gang one that looked like too little, too late.\xa0

\xa0\xa0

National: 7/10\xa0

Solid launch. Very American, very expensive, some good policies like the ute tax turnaround, a tunnel, and the ombudsmen. The polls aren't great but aren't bad either and Luxon is looking increasingly confident.\xa0

\xa0

Act: 7/10\xa0

Good cut through for a smaller party normally squeezed at this time for space. Their productivity idea is the policy of the week.\xa0

\xa0\xa0

Greens: 4/10\xa0

James Shaw not really having a degree despite his LinkedIn page saying he does, doesn\u2019t help.\xa0

\xa0\xa0

Liam Lawson: 8/10\xa0

Did all they asked for and more at Monza. He's on his way to Singapore next weekend, then hopefully Japan and then hopefully full time in 2024.\xa0
