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.
\\n\\xa0
\\nThe Government: 7/10
\\nOff and running and plenty to do. Two cabinet meeting and 49-long list of things to do in 100 days. Looks good.
\\n\\xa0
\\nThe reaction to the new Government: 7/10
\\nThere is a palpable sense that this is different, this might be a bit professional and there is a decent amount of good will.
\\n\\xa0
\\nSmoking: 4/10
\\nA little bit of political capital might have gone up in smoke.
\\n\\xa0
\\nEV\'s: 3/10
\\nThe letter to Joe Biden from the car retailers is a sign of what is happening globally. The hype is not translating.
\\n\\xa0
\\nTauranga City Council: 7/10
\\nListening to the ratepayer over parking, my word! You reckon that attitude could spread?
\\n\\xa0
\\nShane van Gisbergen: 9/10
\\nDespite the fact he got all pissy this year over his car, he is still one of the greatest and what a joy he has been in Supercars.
\\n\\xa0
\\nWanaka: 4/10
\\nCome on Wanaka. What\'s wrong with Macca\'s? You\'ve got a dominos, you like hot apple pies. Don\\u2019t be snobs.
\\n\\xa0
\\nTory Whanau: 4/10
\\nWe don\\u2019t mark personal troubles. But the Green\'s lame defence of the indefensible is all you need to know about the Greens.
