Every Friday morning, Mike Hosking takes you through the big ticket items of the week and lets you know what he makes of it all.
Here's a taste of what he reckons.
EcoCentral and recycling.
4/10
"This is the Christchurch recycling company bailed out because China doesn't take our trash anymore.
Are we really recycling? Has there ever been proper recycling? Has anyone ever asked any real questions? Is any of this actually sustainable given EcoCentral is also subsidised as well as bailed? Â
I would've thought they're all relevant questions." Â
8/10
"Mainly because with the Supreme Court decision the debate is now over.
Thank the good Lord for that." Â
Business confidence surveys.
4/10
"This, like it or not, is a worry. They are piling up now like bad government reports.
And they're all pointing in the same direction, south."Â Â
Apprenticeships for the dole.
7/10
"Isn't that work for the dole and weren't Labour against work for the dole?
Mind you, what they were against and are for now, and what they were for now and are against before im losing count anyone who gets work we got to be grateful for
2/10
"A roll increase of 0.3 percent.
Upside is, it saved us millions from drifters enrolling for nothing on us, and spending a year 'finding themselves'." Â
England at the Football World Cup.
7/10
"While Germany is out and so many of those heavy weights have failed to sizzle,  England are the England of 1966. What would they rather have, no beer or the World Cup? Â
