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 Monarchy: 9/10

"It was a culmination of over a week of pomp, ceremony, history, and reverence for a woman adored by virtually everyone.

And it's a sight we will most likely not see again."



Opposition to Three Waters: 7/10

"The mayoral poll confirmed what most of us suspected and think anyway.

Three Waters is a bad idea, badly executed, and supported by next to no one."



The Uffindell Mess: 5/10

"The report said what you thought it might.

What they really needed was a report into their own party and why one branch doesn’t tell the other what the hell is going on."



Crime: 2/10

"Another miserable week. Culture reports, raids in malls, and charges laid at the lowest level ever.

Which means crime is down? No, it's not actually being dealt to.



Kiri Allan's Response to Falling Prosecution Rates: 3/10

"The numbers don't tell the whole story.

Worst response of the week."



Grant Robertson's MPs Safety Call: 7/10

"What he was trying to say and how it played out were two different things.

He had the seed of a point, but his example of some yelling and some cake really didn’t hammer it home."



The Services Sector: 8/10

"The spending is real, the bounce back is pretty impressive, and the services sector is a decent chunk of our entire economy."



The Manufacturing Sector: 7/10

"Not as good as services but expanding nevertheless."



Fonterra: 8/10

"Big profit and a great outlook.

Thank the good lord for the farmer."



Jamaican Netball: 1/10

"How you get to be that disorganised and that unprofessional I have no idea.

But the sport and the Silver Ferns deserve a lot better."



Wellington Rugby: 8/10

"The Ranfurly Shield still creates a bit of fizz and it's good to get it around the country."
