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: 3/10

Adrian isn't my hero of the week. He did what he should have done, but the way he did it yet again reminds us that the Covid experiment and the economic carnage that went with it is the result of people who could have done a vastly better job.



Elon Musk: 4/10

When your reputation is already hurting the value of your car company, interviewing a mate on your other company platform, only for that to not work either, isn't a good look.



Kamala Harris: 7/10

It's been a week of evidence that, to this point at least, shows the “switch out” has worked. People are engaged, the polls have closed, and the momentum is hers.



Crime: 2/10

41,000 up to 50,000 retail incidents. For all the noise, promises and headlines I'm pretty sure the stats show it's going the wrong way.



The crime committee set up to reverse the retail crime stats: 2/10

Despite the promise the first ideas were weeks away, weeks later they haven't even met.



The All Blacks: 6/10

They will win well, because that’s what they do, and more than 25,000 will watch it. I hope.
