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 World: 4/10

"Not a great week.

The war, the voting in Ukraine, the Hurricane in Florida, the gas explosions in the North Sea, the pound and the markets.

It's got shambles written all over it."



New Zealand: 7/10

"Could we be immune from all of this? No.

But some of the data wasn’t that bad, from small business to jobs, we actually had a decent week."



The Dollar: 3/10

"The world isn't impressed with our dollar.

And given we have a record trade deficit, it's yet another thing to be worried about."



Kelvin Davis' Karen Chhour Comments: 2/10

"It's all that’s wrong with race relations in this country."



The Boost to the RSE Scheme: 6/10

"3000 people, and we will take them.

And if you wouldn't mind speeding up the processing and boosting a few of the other numbers, we'd appreciate it."



McDonald's Hiring Day: 4/10

"2000 vacancies, but they sign 700.

How do you do business when literally you can't get hands on deck?"



Queenstown Jobs: 4/10

"Same story.

600 jobs, they signed 100."



Local Body Elections: 3/10

"We are our own worst enemies.

We moan and yet can't, and won't, vote.'



Air New Zealand's Auckland-New York Shambles: 2/10

"Hell of a week with bags, passengers, payoffs, and ghost flights.

You can't help but wonder if they shouldn't have waited for the right plane.

It's like travelling to Wellington from Auckland in a Nissan Tida. Can you do it? Yes, but do you want to? 



Costco: 8/10

"Thank god they actually opened.

I've never seen more coverage on something that was about to, might be, could be possibly happening.

The Herald gave it more column inches than they did for the moon landing."



The All Blacks: 7/10

"There were two prizes, we won them both.

Probably give the angst a rest for a while?"
