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.
Oliver Hartwich.
9/10.
"Read his piece this week.
We don’t know how to have a national conversation, and we have fostered a social conformity that makes it hard to speak one's mind.
It's true, it's an awesome insight, and it's a must read."
Donald Trump.
8/10.
"If energy is votes, he's home free."
Joe Biden.
4/10.
"Is he really so far ahead he has to do virtually nothing?"
Melbourne and Victoria.
7/10.
"Because having been through lockdown ourselves we all felt the relief, didn’t we?
But they were only there because of a scurrilous and scandalous amount of ineptitude."
LVRs.
4/10.
"Almost certainly back, at least for investors, next month.
Adrian Orr will be reading OneRoof and freaking out."
Biscuits and the Labour/Greens Negotiations.
2/10.
That’s been our government for two weeks now.
A couple of meetings, no comment, just talk about biscuits.
Fortunately, there's nothing really important going on..."
Free Money for SMEs.
4/10.
"Kiwibank called them grants. But free money is free money.
And I can't help but think it’s the banks wanting the government to do what they should be working harder at, supporting small business."
Heart Foundation's Recommendations on Red Meat.
4/10.
"350 grams a week, one lonely steak.
And, as it turned out, it got a lot of pushback from a lot of you that clearly like a steak, and won't be told what is good and what is too much."
Scott Dixon's 6th IndyCar Championship.  
9/10.
"Still amazingly underrated despite all the success.
He is literally one of the greatest of all time, and yet the Americans know him better than we do."
Sport.
8/10.
"Between the AFL, the NRL, and the baseball, it was a great week.
Three seasons were completed this week, and how grateful have we been for sport?"
