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

\xa0

C-listers: 7/10\xa0

Burn of the week. I love people who call it like it is.\xa0

\xa0

Granny flats: 7/10\xa0

A common sense policy and we need more of it.\xa0

\xa0

GDP: 8/10\xa0

Come on! We beat Australia! Can't you feeeell the growth? Surely this makes us a rockstar economy again? Surely? Right?\xa0

\xa0

The Defence Force plane: 3/10\xa0

The outworkings of numerous Governments that lacked back bone and never understood basic investment.\xa0

\xa0

Sail GP in Christchurch: 4/10\xa0

They said they wouldn't be back, and they won't be. When a dolphin beats growth, tourism, marketing and income it explains a lot about the malaise.\xa0

\xa0

Janet Dickson: 6/10\xa0

Good luck to her. Real estate agents get what her argument is, but I suspect she will lose in court.\xa0

\xa0

Eden Park: 8/10\xa0

A Super Rugby game sold out. About damn time.\xa0

\xa0

Joseph Parker: 8/10\xa0

Warm vibes from me. A really nice guy who sits comfortably these days in his own skin. It's been awesome to watch the journey over the last decade.\xa0
