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 Government's PCR Testing: 3/10 
"58,000 tests a day, no worries. 
Whoops, wrong again." 
  
Phase 3 of Omicron Response: 5/10 
"Anything that gives the control and decision making back to us and away from those idiots in Wellington is welcome." 
  
Bryan Betty: 8/10 
"He's the College of GPs head. 
He said we need to change our attitude to Omicron, that it’s a cold, that it's not Delta, and there is too much fear. 
Well said that man." 
  
Jim Bolger's Call to Meet the Wellington Protestors: 6/10 
"Just meet them and just listen, he said. Not bad advice. How hard can it be?   
Remember when we had actual leaders that tackled the tough days and not just the good ones that came with photos?" 
  
Zero Road Deaths Campaign: 3/10 
"More delusional wastage. 
Of course, we want no road deaths, but it isn't happening, hasn’t happened anywhere, and never will. 
Spend your money on stuff that works." 
  
Waikato Chamber of Commerce's Te Huia Report: 8/10 
"For confirming what most of us already knew but proved it with statistics. 
It's slow, it costs too much, it doesn’t save congestion, and it doesn’t save the environment. 
  
Warriors: 7/10 
"Melbourne, beat them, and beat them easily. 
This is our year." 
  
Super Rugby Pacific: 6/10 
"A crowd would be nice. 
But the Crusaders are winning, so that’s what really counts."
