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 trifecta: 8/10  

He got the White House, the other House and the Senate. That is as comprehensive as it gets. 

 

The reaction: 7/10 

Because people are nuts. Elections always have winners and losers and there is always another election. Social media has shown us how often people forget that. 

 

Fonterra: 9/10 

Right now it's as good as it gets. $9.50 could become $10, a sale worth billions, and an effect on the economy that is so fantastically welcome. 

 

The All Blacks: 7/10 

It looks increasingly like the Robertson era is going to be a very good thing. Beating England and Ireland, with France for good measure, that’s a good way to head to Christmas. 

 

The apology: 7/10 

Because it was heartfelt and came from the right place. But that was the easy bit. 

 

The protest: 1/10 

More depressing than the immigration numbers. 

 

The media covering the protest: 2/10 

Between singing reporters and reporters making up numbers, it's not hard to see why the media is where it is and is held in the sort of contempt it is. They have brought it on themselves.
