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 Government: 7/10
Underway at last and a very solid start. A lot of intent, a lot of promises and a lot of energy.
Parliament: 6/10
Underway at last, almost two months since voting day. Politics moves about as fast as justice.
James Meager: 8/10
Universally seen as the star of the week with that speech. The trick now is to live up to the words.
The Auditor General's election audit: 3/10
When you have to investigate counting you know we are not up to much.
PISA results: 2/10
What a disgrace. What an abject, intergenerational failure and what a shocking way to deal with our kids.
Singapore: 8/10
The good news is they have the answer and they are like us, except with their act together. So the model is right there.
Tohu Harris: 8/10
Yes, Beaudy is good but Harris is the man. And with Harris you know it means next year is our year.
Golf: 4/10
New balls that don’t go as far. Talk about killing the fun.
