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.

 

Trevor Mallard: 1/10

"Dick of the week. Or was he?"

 

Simon Henry: 1/10

"Talk about spoiled for choice."

 

Simon Bridges: 8/10

"He left in style, it was a good valedictory with good advice and lots to thinks about.

I hope some of it might just be acted on."

 

Huffer: 7/10

"Spoke for many when their shops had been ram raided and just plain smashed into again, when they said Auckland wasn’t safe.

They are right."

 

Poto Williams: 3/10

"Being soft on crime is a stance, it’s a decision, and it’s a position.

It has nothing to do with gender."

 

Qantas Deal to Fly Sydney to London: 7/10

"That’s a go get 'em airline. Planes to take you from anywhere to anywhere in one go.

The future is here."

 

Air New Zealand: 5/10

"Honesty from Greg Foran this week about what Singapore Airlines does that we don’t, and it's quite a lot.

I think many of us could have told him that, so let's hope they get on with it."

 

Air New Zealand's Share Offering: 7/10

"It was well supported and that's a good sign."

 

Ronnie O'Sullivan Record Equalling Win at Snooker World Championship: 8/10

"It's a privilege to watch geniuses in full flight.

The greats are the ones who provide pleasure, escapism, and sheer joy."

 

The Warriors: 7/10

"Another golden point win and another bounce back from horror.

I know you know it, this is our year."
