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.



Donald Trump: 7/10

A Supreme Court win and a race that is essentially over. That's not a bad week.



EV's: 3/10

The sales figures for February back up the sales figures for January, in that there weren't many of them. And they think this month will be about the same.



Toyota: 7/10

Thanks for the honesty. They are right, there are real questions around the value of second hand EV's and it's good for people to know that.



Premier House: 4/10

It's a fuss about nothing. It has no architectural merit, it's not a beloved national institution. It's an old house in a flash neighbourhood. So whack it on OneRoof and maximise the return.



The haka: 2/10

One of the low points of the week. Professionals acting as amateurs in a heavily subsidised operation, where good will, professionalism and determination are required, not mad-cap politics.



Business start-ups: 9/10

Stat of the week. Of those that started during Covid, 92% are still going.



The Crusaders: 4/10

Hmmm. Maybe Razor was quite good.



The Warriors: 8/10

Here we go! Has there been a season with so much talent, off the back of a fabulous 2023 and so much expectation? This is our year.
