Mark the Week: The by-election was a bust on every level

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!

in basic democracy. The or quiggly saga six because the

tawdry tale is slowly being unwound, but also three because
it's a shabby, arrogant display of an aptitude by an
institution that should have known better, and Christian Hawksby admitted
as much yesterday. Charter schools seven first public publicly declared
