Dare diary

The Secret Diary of . . . Mike and Jacinda by Steve Braunias (Weekend Herald, April 10) was brilliant.

Like him or loathe him, Mike Hosking is not afraid to ask the Prime Minister questions that others won’t. He shows dogged determination even when answers aren’t forthcoming, which is most of the time.

Braunias’ take on the relationship was certainly a laugh-out-loud piece of writing.
