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. 

Money and Spending.

8/10.

"It's still early days but the spending is there. One percent down on this time last year.

Are you kidding me? What recession?"

Trans-Tasman and Pacific Bubbles.

4/10.

"We've got to be more entrepreneurial.

If Australia isn't ready, the Cooks Islands are. Let's get on with it.

Is it really hard to do more than one thing at a time?"

Australia.

5/10.

"Scott Morrison is pulling his hair out. Winston Peters is right, it’s the road block of federalism.

Giving that power to a power freak in Queensland at the expense of the country is not the way to run a successful country."

The Protests, Statues and TV Cancellations.

1/10.

"What a shocking week where the mad, rabid, and bizarre were let loose.

Not only did they put all our health at risk, but also completely lose the plot on history."

The Government's Mood.

4/10.

"Jacinda Ardern got angry, Grant Robertson got frustrated, and Stuart Nash got bloody angry.

You notice when we are not locked up, and there is more than just one voice barking out orders on Facebook Live, things start to come a bit unstuck?"

Pike River.

0/10.

"The confession from Andrew Little that the bodies weren't coming home.

Not that most of us didn’t know that, the crime is the trick that was played on the families for political gain.

If you don’t think this government is Machiavellian, wake up."

Ministry of Education and the Modems.

1/10.

"Come on, even for the public service that’s a pretty spectacular cock up.

And once again with our money which, of course, wasn’t our money anyway given we borrowed it."

The Election.

7/10.

"99 days and counting.

It'll be closer than many think, with no shortage of drama."

Sport.

8/10.

"It's back.

And if it's not back, it's almost back, and a lot of it is back with crowds.

And with crowds comes money."
