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. 

Netball's gold medal: 8/10 

The story of the Games and for Noeline, a gargantuan middle finger to the fools who ran the sport and did what they did to her. 

The Commonwealth Games: 6/10 

It seemed a success, but it also seemed an open question as to its need, or real interest. 

The Strait of Hormuz: 2/10 

We seem to be there or thereabouts, again, this morning. Trump has got to be losing sleep over this because it’s a gargantuan humiliation. 

Car sales: 7/10 

How come if we are so glum we go buy new cars? New car sales are rocketing. 

Election enrolments: 8/10 

Change the rules and cue the moaners, until the facts get published and, what do you know, more people are enrolled than the past three elections. So, it's not actually a problem at all proving, yet again, attitude is everything.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Time now to mark the week, little piece of news
and current of incidents as welcome as the full time
whistle tonight at Mount Smart After a comprehensive panthers paddling
our spending seven, Yes, numbers appear to the fire, the
moves we moan, and yet we spend. Maybe our mood
needs attention jobs four That was the other side of
the story, and number to the upside dents and already
fragile confidence. Of course, then we got the earthquakes six.

(00:21):
I mean, when you get a solid one, which we did,
why do we then for the next week cover every
single shake? Given we've got about fifty a day anyway,
all the time. The comm game six's running away with
it and Harms is going to take it now. Seems
a success, but it also seemed an open question as
to its need or real interest. But Netball gold eight

(00:42):
of golden daities for New Zealand from contenders to champion,
the story of the games and fanol and a gargantuan
middle finger to the follls who ran the sport and
did what they did to dairy auction six. Welcome stabilization
to what might have otherwise been a tree in the
wrong way money well for deposits anyway, There are of

(01:02):
course more depositors than there are borrowers. But all the
banks move this week, and therefore upping interest rates work
both ways. Of course, harmas six. Assuming it actually happens,
that's quite the win this week. The Strait too, I
know what the hell I'm doing? Said we sent to
be there or thereabouts again this morning. Trump has got
to be losing sleep over this. I mean, this is

(01:23):
a gargantuan humiligation forum. Surely car sales seven, I mean,
back to the economy. How come have we so blum
we buy so many new cars? New car sales are rocketing.
Creditory is seven. I mean yet another upbeat reading fewer
and fewer are behind on bills, and that presumably is
after we buy a new car Spain. For trouble with
being a socialists like Sanchez is when they invade your place,

(01:45):
Sticking them on a boater or on an island doesn't
really part of your manifesto, is it? Speaking of socialists,
Al said seven, Listen, man, if you can't say the
name is Abderraman, keep the name out your damn mouth.
Some call it an earthquake. Are picking them within a
party is one thing. Of course, winning the Senate that's
the real test. So let's wait and see how that goes.
Election enrollments eight. I mean, change the rules as they did,

(02:05):
queue the mowners until the facts published, as they did
this week, and what do you know, more people enrolled
than in the past three elections. Not actually a problem
at all, then proving it again. Attitude is everything, and
that's the week. Copies on the website in ty three
hundred and forty five of these have been distributed this
week by the All Blacks and South African Schools, where
the kids gave a resounding chorus of Lequa. For more
