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.
You can't say the Government isn't announcing and doing.
As they say in the markets, this is a bubble. Stuff is worth what it is worth. Mess with that simple concept at your peril.
Rich folks: 6/10
The world grew more billionaires and millionaires and as fashionable as it is to bag them and poo poo them, rich people make stuff, sell stuff, change lives and improve places, which is kind of what we are keen on.
Easter trading: 2/10
Yet another year of dumb rules, dumb fines and no sign of legislative modernity.
Easter Tuesday: 4/10

Kingdom of Fraud
It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
