Mark the Week: It would have been zero if it hadn't been for Ginny Andersen's appearance on the show

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.   Ginny Andersen: 2/10 It would have been zero if it hadn't been for her appearance on the show, at last admitting crime was actually up and it's not all reporting.   Adrian Orr: 6/10 Because if he's right, and that’s still up in the air, 5.5 percent and possibly no recession is not actually a bad result.   Christopher Luxon: 6/10 Backing out of the housing density deal is the right thing to do. Politicians don’t like climb-downs, but climbing down is better than forging ahead with a dumb idea.   Mānuka honey: 4/10 It's a lot of lawyers, a lot of time, a lot of money - and they keep losing. Maybe, just maybe, manuka honey isn't actually exclusively ours.     Hawkes Bay: 7/10 When you are dancing with Bordeaux and Napa in terms of wine, it's a reminder than if you do it right, we are as good as anyone, anywhere.   Te Huia: 3/10 It seems an odd thing to do to take an abject, transportation failure and then ask if it can be hopeless in Tauranga as well.   Phillip Schofield: 6/10 Of all the people of late that have been cancelled, I feel sorry for him most of all. Falling out with a friend shouldn't lead to a shafting. And then you've got to ask what sort of friend does that anyway.   Ratings: 8/10 Big numbers out yesterday for the radio industry and another record audience for this show. We are number one in every town and city now - bar Northland.     Northland: 4/10 Come on Northland.
