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. 

 

Trump's week: 2/10 

Outside the usual madness came the NATO soldier Afghanistan insult and a dead man in Minneapolis, followed by the usual flannel about domestic terrorists. This time the backlash was real, forceful, and might well stick. 

 

The rugby union: 4/10 

Too many rules around the coach. It's a classic case of overthinking it – just go get the best. 

 

NZ Post: 6/10 

Yes, we would all like a post shop in the lounge, but it's not real so at least good on them for telling it like it is and defending a tough, but realistic, decision. 

 

Fees Free: 2/10 

Data that shows why the polls are where they are. Very few are keen on a repeat of that level of fiscal carnage. 

 

Judith Collins: 8/10 

Not just time (24 years) but a workload and a legacy. You don’t get 18 portfolios without leaving an imprint.
