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.

Fair Pay Agreements: 3/10

"The unions look like they are winning."

\xa0

The Health System: 3/10

"It's an example of one of those crises the Prime Minister should be attending to, rather than being in Antarctica, given the ED mess these past few weeks. I don't know how long Andrew Little can keep saying it's not the full-blown meltdown it so obviously is."

\xa0

EV Feebate Scheme: 4/10

"There is no, can be no, and has never been a defence for subsidising people who have $75,000 for a car."

\xa0

Rishi Sunak: 8/10

"Looks the goods and got there in the end."

\xa0

Joe Biden: 4/10

"He said to judge him on his vigour. I think that\u2019s actually the problem. Because they are."

\xa0

Netball Australia's Sponsorship Saga: 1/10

"A sad, but classic, example of all that is wrong with the modern world. It's a world where your job is less important than the virtue you're currently signalling and where selfishness beats team work. It's a disease that, as they found out, is very material."

\xa0

Cruises: 7/10

"Back for the summer after far too long. And with it a sense of some normality and cash."

\xa0

Adrian Rurawhe as Speaker: 7/10

"No, watching Parliament isn't for everyone. But what a sparkling improvement he is over Trevor Mallard."

\xa0

Report into Kid's Physical Activity: 6/10

"A good example of how the media only goes for headlines these days. The bit about dropping kids wasn\u2019t actually the full story. The full story was, in fact, a good story. We are 9th in the world in terms of health and activity. But to know that you had to actually read the full story."

\xa0

Rugby: 6/10

"Mixed week, the Black Ferns/All Blacks clash is not a good look in a world falling over itself trying to promote equality. But the First XV broadcasting call might be a bit over the top."
