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.

In an economic world of woe, it's good to see a decent chunk of people doing well and enjoying it.

Sort of the turgid, rank, icing on the rotten economic cake. How does a Reserve Bank not see a contraction of that size?

Eden Park: 7/10

Best news of the week as reality finally arrived in suburban Auckland. Have a massive facility and actually use it? How novel.

Shane Jones: 6/10

Didn’t we already think he was the deputy?

If they stuck with being light and entertaining, not angsty and angry, they might not be getting yanked off air or sacked.

Benjamin Doyle: 2/10

What a hapless, self-aggrandising waste of time. The Greens have got a massive credibility issue when it comes to candidate selection.
