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.

\xa0

Michael Wood: 1/10

An astonishing week, an astonishing revelation, astonishing behaviour and perhaps the poster boy for all that\u2019s gone wrong with a tired Government.

\xa0

Jan Tinetti: 2/10

Would have been their headline act if she hadn't been usurped by even more spectacular incompetence.

\xa0

The Brain Drain: 3/10

This is a problem. Yes, immigration is increasing. But are they intellectual replacements for the ones we are losing to Australia? And in that, is your issue.

\xa0

LIV Golf and the PGA Tour: 7/10

Because its indisputably good for the game.

\xa0

Supermarket crime: 2/10

This was the cold, hard wake-up call of the week and yet another nail in the Government's crime coffin. A 40 percent increase and $8 million in security for one company alone and body cameras for staff. No wonder we are feeling so safe, aye Ginny?

\xa0

King's Honours: 7/10

Because in there were the usual array of selfless, hardworking, generous and giving Kiwi stories. But also a few that weren't quite so illustrious, and therefore, controversial. And in being so, tarnishing the good name of the King.

\xa0

The electoral recommendations: 6/10

A grab bag of stuff we could have come up with ourselves. And one that suspiciously smacked of a Government agenda.
