Published: Sept. 12, 2024, 11:15 p.m.

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

Migration: 3/10\xa0

We are still leaving in record numbers. Young New Zealanders deciding this ain\u2019t the place for them. It is a startling and ongoing indictment.\xa0

\xa0

Oil: 6/10\xa0

That\u2019s a good thing too. Between the price and the dollar, it's trended in the right direction. Fill your boots.\xa0

\xa0

The NFL season: 8/10\xa0

Continues to get bigger globally every year. I'm obsessed with it. It is elite sport at its best.\xa0

\xa0

The IRD: 3/10\xa0

Taking our stuff and flicking it off to big tech without asking us is dumb and rude and needs stopping.\xa0

\xa0

Australian rules: 3/10\xa0

Governments pretending they can solve problems that haven't been solved anywhere is wasteful. If Australia successfully bans kids from social media I'll eat Rawiri Waititi's hat.\xa0

\xa0

Donald Trump: 2/10\xa0

He is his own worst enemy.\xa0
