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.
Government Importing Dirty Cool from Indonesia: 7/10
"If for no other reason than to highlight the absurdity of a government that keeps insisting on making announcements on things like climate change, and then not actually doing anything about it."
 
Interest Rates: 3/10
"The end of the golden weather.
Unless, of course, you're a saver. Then a little light at the end of the tunnel."
 
Farmers' Groundswell Protest: 8/10
"Hopefully the government gets a wake up today as to just how hopelessly out of touch they are with vast swathes of this country."
 
Sydney and Melbourne Lockdowns: 2/10
"It is all the proof you need that a vaccine programme and a fast rollout have never been more vital.
All those who said we didn’t need to hurry because we don’t have Covid are idiots."
 
The Olympics: 4/10
"It's a mess.
The Brazilian’s hotel, the South African sevens team, a country whose people don't want them, and the absurd heat.
Not to mention a medal ceremony where you award yourself your medal in front of no one.
Come on."
 
Euro Final and Penalty Shootouts: 9/10
"The greatest invention in sport.
Do or die, man or mouse, win or go home, champion or loser.
There is no test like it."
 
Sir Richard Branson and Virgin Galactic: 7/10
"Because he made a dream real."
 
But Virgin Galactic Only Going to the Edge of Space: 4/10
"One hour, a quarter of a million bucks, and three minutes without a seatbelt.
Could be me, but that doesn’t strike me as a must do."
 
The All Blacks: 6/10
"Yes, it's nice to have a season.
But I'm kind of keen for them to play someone of their own calibre."
 
The Mike Hosking Breakfast: 9/10
"Ratings day yesterday and we have literally never had a bigger audience.
More people joined the fun, and we couldn’t be more grateful."
