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
\\nMichael Wood: 1/10
\\nAn astonishing week, an astonishing revelation, astonishing behaviour and perhaps the poster boy for all that\\u2019s gone wrong with a tired Government.
\\n\\xa0
\\nJan Tinetti: 2/10
\\nWould have been their headline act if she hadn\'t been usurped by even more spectacular incompetence.
\\n\\xa0
\\nThe Brain Drain: 3/10
\\nThis 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
\\nLIV Golf and the PGA Tour: 7/10
\\nBecause its indisputably good for the game.
\\n\\xa0
\\nSupermarket crime: 2/10
\\nThis 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
\\nKing\'s Honours: 7/10
\\nBecause 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
\\nThe electoral recommendations: 6/10
\\nA grab bag of stuff we could have come up with ourselves. And one that suspiciously smacked of a Government agenda.
