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

\\n

\\xa0\\xa0

\\n

Lists: 6/10\\xa0

\\n

Between the gender balance and the whack jobs, I am not sure lists are a good thing for democracy and good Government.\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0
\\xa0

\\n

Polls: 6/10\\xa0

\\n

A horrible week for the Government with further shovels of dirt in the political hole in which they are currently being buried.\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0
\\xa0

\\n

The All Blacks: 7/10\\xa0

\\n

Foster is onto it. Name the best you\\u2019ve got, kill the Springboks and go into the World Cup five from five.\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0
\\xa0

\\n

Steve Hansen: 7/10\\xa0

\\n

He can work for, or do a favour for, whoever he likes.\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0
\\xa0

\\n

Valedictories: 8/10\\xa0

\\n

I know no one outside their families and me watches but they, at times, can be a brilliant insight into lives, careers and contributions that would have passed most of us by.\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0
\\xa0

\\n

The IRD bright-line interpretation: 2/10\\xa0

Cock up of the week. Another example of poor planning that comes back to bite you.\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0
\\xa0

\\n

CRL: 2/10\\xa0

\\n

Confession of the week. They had no idea the disruption it would cause! You dig a massive multi-year hole under the streets of the biggest city in the country, closing the roads, and you don\\u2019t think that\\u2019s not upheaval? Idiots. \\xa0\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0
\\xa0

\\n

Space: 6/10\\xa0

\\n

India-1, Russia-0\\xa0
