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.
The Week in Covid News.
2/10.
"Who thought last Friday as we got two weeks of level three and two, that things would be exposed the way they have?"
Covid Testing.
0/10.
"That’s the greatest scandal of all.
Michael Morrah, who asked the question no one else did, certainly not the government, is owed a debt of gratitude by us all."
Elimination.
5/10.
"It still has obvious merit.
But at what cost? And those asking for cost-benefit revisits are asking the right questions."
Vaccines.
7/10.
"You've never seen so much money tossed at something that still hasn’t happened.
But keep asking, just where is it we are in the queue?"
Andrew Borrowdale.
8/10.
"Another person that needs our gratitude. He tested what needed testing.
A government that acts unlawfully is a government to be ashamed of."
The Election Date Change.
7/10.
"Yes, the right thing to do.
The only thing to do."
The Economy.
8/10.
"A welcome bright spot.
Manufacturing up, services sector up, spending generally up, and the housing market almost universally backed as being more than okay."
Joe Biden.
6/10.
"Got there in the end in the weirdest contest ever that started with everyone from Kamala Harris, to Pete Buttigieg, to Kirsten Gillibrand, to Beto O'Rourke, to Andrew Yang.
And yet polls show so many of the votes he might get are not because of who he is, but who he isn't."
The Vodafone Warriors.
9/10.
"On the verge this week of being shafted in the most abysmal way by Telstra.
They deserved better and got it."
Ronnie O'Sullivan.
9/10.
"World Champion on the snooker table again.
Doesn't play a lot, and yet still the best in the world, and sensationally cool with it."
