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.
Â
The Cyclist Protest: 1/10
"Self-important yobs who think they are above the law.
They did their cause no good at all."
Â
The Police at the Cyclist Protest: 4/10
"Hopelessly under-resourced.
In making the one arrest it reinforced the thinking that you can get away with an increasing amount of lawlessness with no real comeback."
Â
Global Economic Growth: 7/10
"OECD stats suggest say 6 percent growth this year.
The worst, I think, is behind us."
Â
Australia's Economy: 7/10
"Now officially bigger than it was before Covid.
And one of only six countries to turn that trick."
Â
Nick Smith: 3/10
"I rest my case."
Â
Willie Jackson Meeting with the Gangs: 3/10
"What is it with this government and gangs?"
Â
Naomi Osaka: 4/10
"Of course, there is sympathy.
But making yourself the centre of attention and expecting rules to apply to everyone but you, ended the way it was always going to end."
Â
Burnout: 4/10
"It's like social media, everyone wants it.
It’s the condition of the age."
Â
Crowds Back at Sport: 8/10
"From the NBA, to the NBL, to the Phoenix, and to the Champions League this week.
Crowds are your sporting icing on the cake."
Â
The Reds Win in Super Rugby Trans-Tasman: 6/10
"God bless them getting at least one win on the board.
But does it really change a lot? I don’t think so."
