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.

The Warriors: 8/10

It was yet another win but too many whingers complained about the quality of the win. Mind you, when all you have to moan about is how you are winning, it's not a bad problem to have.

\xa0

Guns: 1/10

Too many guns, too many shootings, too many bail breaches, too many thugs and too much crime. How sick of it are we?

\xa0

The phone ban: 6/10

Second best policy of the week. It's far from a magic bullet of course, but its value is in what it represents and what it represents is discipline, something in woefully short supply all over the place these days.

ACT: 7/10

Their public service savings is the policy of the week. They're looking to save $1 billion on day one by stopping work and projects that mean nothing and go nowhere. More please.

\xa0

The Ministry of Pacific Peoples party: 0/10

As if ACT needed an example.

\xa0

Alberta: 7/10

Because they have worked out, like Victoria, the Commonwealth Games ain't worth it. But unlike Victoria they pulled out early and in reasonable circumstances. Victoria continues to look as dodgy as.

\xa0

The M\u0101ori Health Authority report: 7/10

Because it shines a light on racist policy and non-delivery of racist policy. Maybe if the Prime Minister read anything he'd get that.

\xa0

Barbie: 8/10

They say its FOMO that drives ticket sales and they say it\u2019s a marketing triumph for an ordinary product. Either way, not many collect a billion and box office stats don\u2019t lie.
