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 Immigration Reset: 4/10
"Because it's driven by the overarching view that less is more.
In the case of a country so short of skills, it simply isn't true."
 
Simon Henry: 2/10
"Made the list last week as dick of the week.
Amazingly, he is back for more with that two-line apology."
 
Willie Jackson: 3/10
"Not as bad as Henry but clearly working on it.
Calling David Seymour a useless Māori is playing the man not the ball.
And it shows a fear of real debate."
 
Government's Law and Order Package: 7/10
"It's a confession that crime is out of control.
That's what polls do for you. They deny, deny, deny until "whoops here's some money."
 
Our Spending: 6/10
"Yes, we are getting less for more, but at least the money is still coming out of the wallet as the April figures revealed."
 
BNZ's Call Around a Recession: 4/10
"Not their fault but they are right.
We are closer to a recession every day."
 
Supermarkets' Price Freezes and Reductions: 6/10
"Let's give them the benefit of the doubt.
Go get a few bargains and go save a bit of money."
 
Emirates: 7/10
"For bringing the A380 back to the country.
Let the expansion not stop there."
 
Air New Zealand: 4/10
"The call centre mess is unnecessary.
The re-launch, although hampered by government ineptitude and false starts, doesn't look flash.
Just because it's local and we own it doesn’t mean we have to fly it."
