About this episode
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.
Christopher Luxon: 8/10
Stared them down, again, and they folded like an umbrella.
Chris Penk: 1/10
Not only did he get sucked in in the first place, he paid the ultimate price for a flop.
Chris Bishop: 2/10
He can say what he likes, but we know.
Erica Stanford: 3/10
She can say what she likes, if she was saying anything at all. Let's put it this way; if they ran the country like they ran a coup, we'd really be in trouble.
Hipkins in Rotorua: 3/10
"Emergency housing got a bit out of control." Did it Chris? Honestly. And no apology? The guy is a robot.
Trump in the food delivery truck: 8/10
And he takes Hegseth but leaves Rubio, Miller, and Bessent on board the old one with the blinds down. Who needs enemies?
