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 Northland transmission tower: 1/10
If you made it up, they wouldn’t believe you.
The ferry: 3/10
A bit more believable given the track record leading up, but it's still no less depressing.
The Warriors: 1/10
Almost as bad as taking too many nuts and bolts out.
Pharmac: 7/10
Because on balance, a naive promise that was broken got rectified in a pretty impressive way and a lot of people get the help they need because of it.
Julian Assange: 6/10
On balance it's probably fair. He's a crook, he's served jail time and he endangered a lot of people. The debate over that, or whether he is a hero, will never settle, but the case has.
Jetstar: 6/10
Good week. I'm not sure about Cairns. But more domestic choice is good.
The fast track poll: 6/10
Proof that a bit of common sense is actually what a chunk of New Zealanders want. Maybe the media can reflect more of that instead of seeking out the moaners all day long
