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.

Jan Thomas, Vice Chancellor of Massey University.

0/10.

"For the abject failure and quite obvious personal bias she brought to the Don Brash cancellation."  

Steven Joyce

9/10.

"Come on in Steven Joyce.  

Laughed at and ridiculed at the time, but as the Cameron Bagries now line up behind him, turns out he was right, and not that it's coming, but an apology is owed by many."  

Grant Robertson and Jacinda Ardern.

3/10.

"Robertson, for giving a speech to business and failing to accept that growth is slowing, and the policy settings are causing it, and the confidence loss that goes with it is a genuine and present problem.

And Ardern, for returning to work and making the same mistake."

Those Auckland Cows.

8/10.

"You have cows with calves in the city, with people doing karate and war veterans wandering around, and a claim of a possessed herd.

Would've been hilarious if it hadn't been for the fact the cow is now dead, and the cow's crime was being a cow."

Bowls Clubs.

7/10.

"Do the Police really have nothing better to do than protest liquor licence renewals?

And are the bowls clubs really the centre of alcohol abuse and deprivation in the community? I wouldn't have thought so"

The Census.

4/10.

"As the census worker said to us it would have looked good in an office in Wellington with wonks and whiteboards.

But those people rarely venture into the real world, hence the shambles it became. And we laughed at Australia when they cocked it up last year."
