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 America's Cup and Spanish tourism: 7/10 

Despite the protests and locals telling everyone to go home, more people than ever showed up. 

 

Wellington City Council: 1/10 

Now that is a scandal. 

 

The Local Government Minister: 4/10 

He has to act, given he's pulled the trigger and made the threat. Reputationally, you can't go round threatening people then doing nothing. 

 

Luxon: 4/10 

Out of touch, according to the poll. It's not that he ain’t okay, I think it's really just because he isn't John Key. It's a looooong shadow. 

 

The Solicitor General and her prosecution guidelines: 2/10 

Doing exactly the opposite of what the Government wants. Explain that. 

 

Liam Lawson: 8/10 

Right up there in terms of debut expectations. Love it or not, F1 is the pinnacle and it’s a truly global event and we are once again flying our flag through a brilliant talent we wish all the very best.
