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.

Oil and gas: 7/10

As Rishi Sunak handed out another 100 licences, he showed the world the cold, hard reality that for all the hand-wringing and hot air over-renewables, they just don\u2019t cut it in supply or reliability. They might one day, but not yet.

Donald Trump: 4/10

The indictment will mean nothing politically, which is part of the problem. It shows how mad and broken America is.

\xa0

Dairy: 5/10

The auction this week is a real red flag. Farming pays the bills for this increasingly indebted country and those numbers this week mean the cash cow has troubles.

M. bovis: 8/10

An unlikely highlight of the week, I thought. It was a big call to choose to eradicate in the first place and I don\u2019t think anyone has actually ever been successful. So look at us!

\xa0

Barbenheimer: 7/10

A rock solid, stone cold smash hit. Or hits. It's probably the most unlikely cinematic success story of the year, if not many a year.

\xa0

The All Blacks: 8/10

In a year we want to see them looking awesome, they could not look more awesome.

\xa0

The Warriors: 8/10

No, they haven't done anything this week, yet. But they will. Tonight will be another two points closer to this being our year.
