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

He Waka Eke Noa: 2/10

"How to kill business in one easy lesson.

How to suck in a whole sector in in one easy lesson.

And how to not sell your vision in one easy lesson."

\xa0

ACT: 7/10

"Idea of the week with their referendum on co-governance.

It keeps the issue alive, keeps National on its toes, appeals to a good number of voters, and puts pressure on the Government to explain themselves."

\xa0

Government's Immigration Moves: 6/10

"Because the general intent seems reasonable. Execution is another matter.

But the crux of this is we need more people and this, at least in theory, heads that way."

\xa0

Ruapehu Alpine Lifts Going into Administration: 2/10

"You can't be a tourist destination with a whole island with no ski field.

And you can't have a whole country with millions of locals having to go to the South Island.

Surely there is money and a model that works?"

\xa0

The Brain Drain: 3/10

"An insight into how bad our plight is.

We are still going backwards. And this year it's New Zealanders leading the way."

\xa0

Hong Kong: 4/10

"Half a million free tickets to get you there. It's a decent idea.

But the trouble is the Chinese have wrecked the place, hence you need half a million free tickets.

Before the Chinese wrecked the place, we actually went there voluntarily and happily paid.

There is a lesson there."

\xa0

King Charles' Coronation: 7/10

"It will be a spectacle.

But on a Saturday? Come on."

\xa0

The Week of the Big Reveal: 8/10

"We had Meta, Microsoft, and Dyson.

From goggles, to screens, to vacuums, it's a wondrous world full of new stuff to separate you from your money."

\xa0

Bathurst: 8/10

"A perfect Sunday afternoon and a New Zealander beats them all, again."
