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 Northland transmission tower: 1/10 

If you made it up, they wouldn’t believe you. 

 

The ferry: 3/10 

A bit more believable given the track record leading up, but it's still no less depressing. 

 

The Warriors: 1/10 

Almost as bad as taking too many nuts and bolts out. 

 

Pharmac: 7/10 

Because on balance, a naive promise that was broken got rectified in a pretty impressive way and a lot of people get the help they need because of it. 

 

Julian Assange: 6/10 

On balance it's probably fair. He's a crook, he's served jail time and he endangered a lot of people. The debate over that, or whether he is a hero, will never settle, but the case has. 

 

Jetstar: 6/10 

Good week. I'm not sure about Cairns. But more domestic choice is good. 

 

The fast track poll: 6/10 

Proof that a bit of common sense is actually what a chunk of New Zealanders want. Maybe the media can reflect more of that instead of seeking out the moaners all day long

a record's a record, and given circumstances, will take that.
The TV one pole seven yet another reminder that no

Good Lord, agree to disagree. Six mister Hoskins quote my words.

(01:35):
A refreshing example of how the Coalition agreement might actually
be a proper template. Are the UK votes seven I'm
gripping at In a year of democratic exercise, this is
one of the more interesting ones this time. Next week,

Jet Star six. Good week. I'm not sure about Ken's personally,
but more domestic choice is always a good thing. Fast

(01:57):
Track pol six gone o the day of the Multicolored Skak,
proof that a little bit of common sense is actually
what a chunk of New Zealand does want and maybe
