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 economy: 4/10

Between the GDP and the current account, it’s a bad week of data. You could argue the upside is it might be the worst of it. It might be better from here on in.



Whining unions: 3/10

This week it was relief teachers. Name me the last time unions said something, anything, positive.



The race edict: 8/10

Because doing stuff, handing stuff out, based on nothing more than race is racist.



The All Blacks: 7/10

Australia comes at just the right time. What we need off two losses is someone pretty useless. Australia - come on in.



Liam Lawson: 9/10

If the word is accurate, by the time the weekend is out we will have our next full-time driver in F1.



Federated Farmers: 125/10

That’s a birthday worth celebrating and of all the advocacy groups, I think they could be close to being my favourite.
