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. 

 

Social media: 3/10 

Between National and their lack of numbers and Meta and the Attorney Generals folding, it was tech – 1 vs the rest of us – 0. 

 

NZ wine: 7/10 

Wasn’t that an uplifting story? Australian wine is tanking at a time when our sales continue to rise, and volume and value are on the up. To be fair, yellowtail does remove stains in your sink. 

 

MBIE scandal: 1/10 

As bad as it gets and yet with no consequences. Only in the public service... 

 

Dolly Parton: A life of achievement 

In some respects, the highlight of the week, ironically. Universally loved, bigger than what made her famous, more clever than you might have imagined, and a story of longevity and continued relevance. 

Beyond politics, in a country deeply divided, and a life you could barely fault. 80 was too young, but surely the quality is what counts.
