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 cathedral: 7/10

If I wasn’t from Christchurch, I doubt I'd be gripped, but that thing is in such desperate need of being sorted so a new plan is most welcome.

The by-election: 3/10

A bust on every level, but mostly for the lack of interest in basic democracy.

Charter schools: 7/10

The first public, publicly declared school having a look at the option. The idea might have come of age.

Compulsory KiwiSaver: 6/10

Between Peters and several new reports, it's building a head of steam as an idea. The ideas time might have come.

Takuta Ferris: 1/10

Idiot.

The Warriors: 8/10

Webster was right yesterday: it is a new season now. We are 6th and 6th is good, 6th is alive, and 6th is a ticket to the big dance. Let's dance!
