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
The New Zealand Rugby Union: 4/10
By all means, hire who you want, when you want - but try to look like you know what the hell you are doing in the process. After all, you are only the national game.
\xa0
Andrew Coster: 3/10
Yet again he looks hopelessly out of touch. The apology came way too late and I'm not sure a caravan solves it.
\xa0
Stuart Nash: 2/10
Because he's in charge of police and a local who dismissed other locals. And he's in charge of forestry and has pissed off the East Coasters as well.
\xa0
Chris Hipkins: 3/10
Because he is supposed to be in charge of the other two fools and has seen his leadership honeymoon come to a grinding halt this week, with a tin ear and a massive amount of condescension. Hence, leading to yet more apologies.
\xa0
The Warriors: 7/10
Tonight's the night full of hope and expectation. This. Is. Our. Year.
\xa0
Rob Campbell: 5/10
He was foolish to ever think he could get away with what he said. But, as a supporter of free speech he was defending his corner and I kind of get that.
\xa0
Grapes: 7/10
The harvest is underway, as is the kiwifruit, which reminds us that yes some have got whacked but a lot haven't. And may the sun shine during picking and may the returns be profitable.
\xa0
Doctors: 6/10
Because the idea to train more is a good and obvious one. So why then has the Government not even replied?
\xa0
King Charles: 8/10
For booting his reprobate son and his narcissistic Mrs out of Frogmore Cottage.
