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. 

 

Donald Trump: 7/10 

A Supreme Court win and a race that is essentially over. That's not a bad week. 

 

EV's: 3/10 

The sales figures for February back up the sales figures for January, in that there weren't many of them. And they think this month will be about the same. 

 

Toyota: 7/10 

Thanks for the honesty. They are right, there are real questions around the value of second hand EV's and it's good for people to know that. 

 

Premier House: 4/10 

It's a fuss about nothing. It has no architectural merit, it's not a beloved national institution. It's an old house in a flash neighbourhood. So whack it on OneRoof and maximise the return. 

 

The haka: 2/10 

One of the low points of the week. Professionals acting as amateurs in a heavily subsidised operation, where good will, professionalism and determination are required, not mad-cap politics. 

 

Business start-ups: 9/10 

Stat of the week. Of those that started during Covid, 92% are still going. 

 

The Crusaders: 4/10 

Hmmm. Maybe Razor was quite good. 

 

The Warriors: 8/10 

Here we go! Has there been a season with so much talent, off the back of a fabulous 2023 and so much expectation? This is our year.
