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.


New Auckland stadium: 7/10

More accurately, the Auckland stadium “drawing”. What a quality piece of work. But, any money and any odds you want say it'll never be built.


Superbowl: 9/10

The most watched event in TV history. That's how you sell a sport.


The Joe Biden report: 1/10

His troubles, both mental and chronological, officially recorded in the most damning of ways.


Trump and NATO: 6/10

Because although it came with bombast he is actually correct and, here is the irony, Stoltenberg yesterday agreed.


Three Waters: 7/10

Because it's buried.


Fining parents: 7/10

Not the specific act, but between Luxon and Seymour they are clearly as shocked as most of the rest of us at the abysmal state of school attendance and its flow-on effects and are, thank God, looking to get serious.


Auckland Rail: 2/10

Farcical.


Auckland: 3/10

Not a lot better.
