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. 

NZ Inc.: 7/10 

A good week. Building consents, credit demand, house listings – up, up and up. 

Noeline Taurua: 6/10 

Spoke for the first time, but in a way where the knots you are tied up in get in the way of the words. 

SCOTUS: 2/10 

It went about as badly as you might have expected, unless you thought an argument about being a megalomaniac with uncontrollable powers was going to fly. 

Sir David Beckham: 8/10 

He is a story of inspiration and lovely with it. I'm a fanboy. 

New York: 2/10 

Mamdani is likeable and slick. But so was Jacinda. 

Transmission Gully: 2/10 

How can a new road need $32 million worth of repairs, unless you didn’t do it properly in the first place? Which then leads to the question - why didn’t you do it properly in the first place?
