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.

The Week for the Government. 

4/10.

"Well, what a week. 

Andrew Little apologising for our judicial system to the United Nations by blaming colonisation, the Prime Minister claiming we have strong growth, and Phil Twyford waving the white flag on his KiwiBuild target.

And the year has only just started."

Jami Lee-Ross and the Media. 

4/10.

"I am not sure what's more embarassing, his obsession with the limelight or the media's inability to control themselves in offering it up." 

Tauranga House Prices. 

7/10.

"Yes, it might be expensive, and yes it might compare cost-wise to London, but what was forgotten in all the angst is, just why is that?

Demand. People love it. Tauranga's a jewel, and jewels are expensive."

Jobseeker Numbers. 

11/10. 

"11 as in 11,000.

11,000 more people on jobseeker support benefits, and yet we are in a country with jobs we can't fill. 

How do you square that circle?" 

The Bird Box Challenge. 

4/10.

"A reminder that there is so much TV now the ideas have got just plain stupid."

McLean Park getting International Cricket back. 

7/10. 

"Had an issue, fixed it and got back in the big time. 

It would have been an eight if they had thought about the sun."

The Weather. 

7/10. 

"For most of us this is proving to be a wonderful, and sunny summer."
