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 Election Campaign.
7/10.
"It's getting better by the day.
The early votes are in, the debates are on, the polls are out, and the final week is always the best."
The Polls.
4/10.
"They need to do something about their industry.
We have polls that aren't polls, polls that are bought by interest groups, and polls on the same subject that don’t remotely dovetail.
It's too much of a mess."
The ASB Classic.
3/10.
"Yet another thing not happening because the government runs on fear, and can't make a decision."
Travel Bubbles.
3/10.
"Same problem as the tennis.
Could have been a game-changer. Morrison sees it, but we are paralysed by inaction."
National's Auckland Council Review.
8/10.
"Policy of the week.
Who doesn’t think Auckland needs a giant rocket?"
Denise Lee's Email about the Auckland Council Review.
2/10.
"The first time most people hear about her is when she is white-anting her leader."
Donald Trump.
7/10.
"Yes, he's as mad as a cut snake.
But from his point of view, it was classic him and for his enemies to have a drive by, walkout, videos, and telling the world not to let it dominate you is about as gutting as they could ever possibly have imagined."
Joseph Parker.
7/10.
"Weird old negotiations and I'm not sure how much further along this fight gets him towards a title.
But it'll be a sell out in December."
The All Blacks.
8/10.
"Isn't it extraordinary? The first test of the year and it's October."
The Ranfurly Shield.
7/10.  
"On the move yet again, both Super Rugby and the Mitre 10 Cup have been major beneficiaries of an otherwise bollocks year for sport."
Prosecco.
6/10.
"Sales are apparently through the roof.
Is that because it's actually good? Or we will just drink anything?"
