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.
It’s a sad business. Was it a sackable offence? No. Does it put people off entering politics? I would have thought so. But when you call someone a loser and grab an arm, can you survive? It was the re-offence that was sackable.

Marsden and the rebuild: 2/10
That’s what is wrong with coalitions. They indulge folly.
Temu: 3/10
We are spending more there and less domestically. Never underestimate the power of cheap crap.
Tory Whanau: 1/10
Cancelling her Newstalk ZB slot is the beginning of the end. Cancelling Newstalk ZB slots doesn’t tend to go well for voting patterns – I speak from experience.
The Warriors: 7/10
Unbeaten in the offseason and some fairly ordinary, blow-up bat-wielding Raiders to tackle first up.
