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.



Adrian Orr: 6/10 

The cash rate holds and he is nowhere near as hawkish as they thought. All of that is good. He just needs to be right.



Trump: 6/10 

Won South Carolina, won Michigan and the Supreme Court will hear his immunity case.



Ginny Andersen: 6/10 

Apologised on this station twice and both times I judged with genuine sincerity. An apology puts a lot of stuff right.



Newshub: 3/10 

A mixture of sadness tinged with writing on the wall. It wasn’t the surprise some made it out to be.



NCEA: 2/10 

More results of more people failing and that's a massive social and moral stain on this country and its future.



The Māori Health Authority: 6/10 

Gone and good riddance. Race-based policy is racist, divisive and destructive.



Gang patches: 6/10 

A simple and demonstrative part of an overall approach that is six years overdue.



Stuart Nash: 8/10 

Truth bomber of the week.
