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.



Smith & Caughey's: 7/10

A bright spot in a tough old economic week. Smaller is better than nothing at all.



Jobs: 6/10

In this weird old world being not as bad as you thought isn't really good news.



Power: 1/10

This is the scandal of the week, or month, or year, and the last Government. Power drives economies and we don’t have enough and what we have is the most expensive in the world. If you can't make enough power you're little more than Third World.



Tim Walz: 6/10

Because he's refreshing and, yet, a mistake. He's affable, funny and likeable, but of the left. You don’t get middle America on your side by being left of Kamala.



Shaun Johnson: 8/10

Great guy, great player, great story and great legacy.



The Olympics: 6/10

I feel the same as last week. I'm not feeling it. It could be the time zone. But I'll tell you this for nothing - I bet the Australians are up at all hours and loving it.
