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.

Level Three Restrictions.

6/10.

"In a nutshell level three is Australia.

Australia is where we should have been all along. Australia are doing better than us.

This is where we should have been for a month."

If Monday's Decision is to Move to Level Three.

8/10.

"It's the only call."

If Monday's Decision is to Extend the Lockdown.

0/10.

"Given the virus numbers are farcical."

All the Entrepreneurs Putting up Good Ideas.

8/10.

"We've featured ideas from the likes of Sir Bob Jones, Connor English, Sam Stubbs, Patrick Smellie, Troy Bowker, and Rod Drury.

There is a growing body of intelligent, well thought out, and clever insight into all this.

There has been no excuse not to learn and know more."

Treasury Modelling.

3/10.

"Way too much politics.

Telling us life would be a mess if we were in level four for six months, and level three for six months serves no purpose.

Other than to scare people and allow Finance Ministers to claim they are heroes."

Ashley Bloomfield.

8/10.

"He's highly political and he's fudged a lot around swabs, testing and PPE.

But broadly, he's been the star of the show.

He doesn’t talk to you like you're four, and knows his stuff."

Online Shopping from Offshore.

3/10.

"It's super uncool at the expense of local retail."

Kiwifruit.

9/10.

"A record start to this season which is a multi-billion dollar saviour.

The farmers and growers of this land once more are the heroes they always really were.

But just lately not treated that way."
