Herald ratings of Cabinet Ministers

The Herald (print) did their annual ratings of Ministers on a 0 to 10 scale.

These things are always subjective, but I have to say that this year I find some of them exceptionally wacky. The Herald has Bill English as the third worse performing Minister. That is just off the planet.

But here they are for what it is worth:

• Michael Woodhouse 9
• John Key 8
• Paula Bennett 8
• Jonathan Coleman 8
• Amy Adams 8
• Chris Finlayson 8
• Hekia Parata 8
• Anne Tolley 8
• Tim Groser 8
• Todd McClay 8
• Gerry Brownlee 7
• Murray McCully 7
• Nathan Guy 7
• Nikki Kaye 7
• Maggie Barry 7
• Bill English 6
• Steven Joyce 6
• Simon Bridges 6
• Nick Smith 5
• Peseta Sam Lotu-Iiga 4

The average rating is 7.15.
