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 eclipse: 8/10 

For no other reason than it seems to get people fizzing …despite the fact i cant for the life of me work out why you would travel miles and spend thousands to do it 

 

The Climate Commission: 4/10 

Worthy but wacky, we will not be banning petrol cars by 2040. Saying weird stuff doesn’t help, but watch them as 2050 gets closer. 

 

The media: 2/10 

Tough week. 

 

Job losses: 4/10 

No fun for anyone but it's what you get when a previous Government spends what they don’t have and creates jobs that don’t really exist. 

 

Winston Peters: 6/10 

Looks good on the international stage. He looks experienced and serious, which is a different league to our last representative. 

 

Immigration: 7/10 

Not a moment too soon. No one loves more people than me, but they've got to be the right people who can do more than just cook stir fry or make flat whites. 

 

Britain's transgender report: 8/10 

Hopefully the turning of a dangerously progressive tide where madness and vibes trump common sense and facts and, ultimately, cause untold damage.
