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.
Level 2.
7/10.
"Not level 1, and certainly not what a lot of the country wants.
But it felt better this week than last."
The Government's Attitude to Levels.
6/10.
"The emergence, I hope of a trend. Level 2 with cases, talk of level 1 with cases.
Could it be, at last, they’ve worked out that the health side isn't everything? And life can continue without freaking out and locking down?
The Testing Message.
1/10.
"In that, is all that has been wrong with the handling of this.
Too many departments, too many people, not enough simple common sense, and brain power."
James Shaw and the Green School.
0/10.
"About as bad as it gets, and freakishly similar to Metiria Turei three years ago.
Has he sunk his party? Question of the week."  
Judith Collins' Husband, David Wong Tung.
4/10.
"Bad, but not the scandal  they tried to make it out to be.
Social media is a cess pit, and more fool you if you dabble.
But people are individuals, adults are adults, and trying to contain a spouse is from 1837, not the modern day."
Trump and Biden.
7/10.
"Why? Because it's on.
Post convention the ads are out, the campaign is underway, and if you can pick a winner, it's because your biased not because it’s a forgone conclusion."
Housing.
9/10.
"Through the roof.
Confidence, demand, and prices are defying expectations and records."
Wine.
8/10.
"More wine, more income, and the forecast is cheerier than a crisp rosé at lunch in spring.
Global sales up again, the world will always love and pay for top shelf.
The Warriors.
9/10.
"Come on, four wins out the last five games.
The Knights spanked, a sniff from the top eight, and bring on the Eels.
Could this be our year?"
