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

\\n

Michael Wood: 1/10

\\n

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

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Jan Tinetti: 2/10

\\n

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

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

The Brain Drain: 3/10

\\n

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.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

LIV Golf and the PGA Tour: 7/10

\\n

Because its indisputably good for the game.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Supermarket crime: 2/10

\\n

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?

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

King\'s Honours: 7/10

\\n

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.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

The electoral recommendations: 6/10

\\n

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