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.

 

Waka Kotahi: 7/10

"For shutting down, hopefully once and for all, the talk of a cycle lane on the harbour bridge."

 

Spending: 4/10

Down in the June quarter, another nail for those who argue there was no recession.

 

Baristas: 7/10

$30 an hour is all that’s good, and all that’s bad, about the mess we are currently in.

 

Brian Tamaki: 6/10

Say what you want about the bloke but he's active and he's launched a party. He wants to get amongst it. Participants are welcome in this age of complacency

 

The All Blacks: 8/10

Because we've had a week with no bitching, no back stabbing, just the anticipation of a game. I'll take that any day of the week.

 

Trevor Mallard: 4/10

Does 35 years count - yes.

But in totality, by the time you take the thuggery, the bullying and the defamation that wipes pretty much all of it out. Character beats time served for me.

 

Those who defend Mallard: 3/10

That goes to their character...

 

Sanna Marin: 4/10

She worked it out eventually, hence the second apology in a week.
