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.

Bill Gates: 8/10

When a disciple of the cause hits pause because he has worked out the hysteria outweighs the reality, he is to be congratulated.

Chris Hipkins: 2/10

Sell a tax if you want. But the attack on the Prime Minister and houses is what these guys are really all about - they hate success.

The All Blacks: 7/10

Ironically the biggest test is the first. I'm saying 4 from 4 and Merry Christmas.

Fonterra: 8/10

A great week to be a dairy farmer and a great week to be a country with dairy farmers.

Noeline Taurua: 8/10

The right call got made eventually, but...

The Noeline saga: 1/10

We still don’t understand what happened, why it's happened and why it got handled the way it did.
