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.
New Zealand: 7/10
Quite a bit of good news this week, from the Government accounts (which are better than thought), to house prices (which are up), to red meat exports (which are booming). All good, and welcome, news.
School lunches: 2/10
In a world of seismic movement, of global upheaval, good, old New Zealand still had plenty of time for that crap.
Tariffs: 2/10
About as idiotic as economic policy gets. Warren Buffett calls them an act of war and Buffett has a track record of knowing what he is talking about.
Richard Prebble: 8/10
Hero of the week. He quit on principle and the reality is the Waitangi Tribunal is a runaway train that the Government actually needs to do something about.
The Warriors: 1/10
What a waste of a game, of a pre-season, of a launch, of a flight... and of my time.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
