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 statistics: 3/10

The record broken by Kiwis leaving this country is the number that should be chiseled on the Labour Government grave stone 2017-2023. "Here lies Labour. 52,500 couldn’t stand it any longer."



Charter schools: 7/10

Recognising that a union-based one-stop shop isn't for everyone.



The Waitangi Tribunal: 4/10

Why don’t they just write the one report? Just say "we hate national", "we hate everything they are doing", "everything they are doing is racist" and just hand a new copy out every time someone whinges?



The Luxon pre-Budget speech: 6/10

Defending tax cuts and good on him. The fact some have lost the idea that actually keeping the money you earn, shows you just how wayward and ill-disciplined we have become.



Biden and Trump: 7/10

Two debates. A better watch than Mike Tyson v Jake Paul I reckon.



Jerry Seinfeld: 9/10

Listen to what he actually said, not what the media focused on. There are lessons for life in there. He is brilliant.
