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.

4/10.

"We should be in it now, and we aren't.

We aren't because some are too obsessed with health over the economy."

Hunting at Level Three.

7/10.

"The return of an element of common sense and of some kind of normality.

The argument that you shouldn’t move just in case you get an ingrown toenail and bother the health service has become farcical."

Simon Bridges.

2/10.

"A miserable week made worse by the media.

Portions of which let the decent operators down by turning unsubstantiated whining on social media into news.

First clue on social media, when they say I've been a National voter my whole life, note to scandal monger, they haven't.

Winston Peters.

2/10.

"As much sympathy as I have for his plight, and I have a lot because his private stuff was leaked, he should never have sued and never gone to court.

Because he's Deputy Prime Minister, he was always going to lose, and it cost us a fortune."

Deborah Russel and her Business Comments.

3/10.

"When you’ve owned a business, set one up, closed one down, hired someone, paid GST, taken a risk, or lost sleep then talk to me.

When you’ve been at university a lot, zip it sweetie."

Parliament.

7/10.

"Back next week and not a moment too soon.

This small collection of the anointed need to be held to account."

Uber Eats and its Commission.

4/10.

"Profiting at a rate most think is unfair at a time of real hardship isn't cool.

I think we've decided Uber Eats isn't cool."

NRL Coming Back.

8/10.

"Of all the sports that have plans to restart they look the most concrete.

Believe it hard enough, think creatively, hard enough, push hard enough, and you'll be amazed what you can do."

Radio.

9/10.

"An industry I have loved for 38 years.

The ratings out yesterday remind us all of the value of good quality communication, information, ideas and entertainment.

It's never been more valuable, and clearly never been more frequented."
