Big numbers are expected at Auckland Airport this Christmas season.

50,000 people will be flying in and out of the country across December 23 and Christmas Eve.

It's a far different picture than last year, when fewer than 3,000 people came and went over those two days.

CEO Carrie Hurihanganui told Tim Dower a lot of work has been done to make sure everything goes smoothly.

Carrie Hurihanganui: Auckland Airport CEO says 50,000 expected to fly in and out of the country during Xmas period

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. \n

 \n

Voting: 8/10 \n

Democracy is a wonderful thing, and we have seen this week a new president for Sri Lanka and the first vote in America. \n

 \n

Tory Whanau: 4/10 \n

Four times she opened her mouth and four times the hole got bigger. \n

 \n

Fonterra: 7/10 \n

What they are doing for farmers and, by connection, the rest of the country at a time of real strife is not to be underestimated. \n

 \n

Working from home: 6/10 \n

From the amount of whinging I have heard, you would have thought we had been doing it since Victorian times and we've got no idea how to turn up at the office like, you know, each workday. \n

 \n

David Seymour: 6/10 \n

Most effective politician of the week. He got charter schools into law and cracked down on teacher only days. \n

 \n

Liam Lawson: 9/10 \n

In one of the biggest global sports going there is a top 20, and a Kiwi is once again right up there.  #dreamscometrue \n

Health NZ will be weighing up the two options for the new Dunedin Hospital.\n

An independent review has found the current plan for Dunedin Hospital, is 'probably not achievable' within its current budget of $1.88 billion.\n

The Government has said it either needs to scale back the project's main building or swap it out in favour of a \"staged development\" on the old site to keep it within the budget.\n

Health NZ Head of Infrastructure Delivery Blake Lepper old Mike Hosking costs have been creeping up for some time.\n

He says after construction began on the main outpatients building, the real costs emerged and they realised they had a problem.\n

Lepper says this is the problem with greenfields projects, when they were trying to do something a bit different and aspirational.\n
