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.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Ginny Andersen: 2/10

\\n

It would have been zero if it hadn\'t been for her appearance on the show, at last admitting crime was actually up and it\'s not all reporting.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Adrian Orr: 6/10

\\n

Because if he\'s right, and that\\u2019s still up in the air, 5.5 percent and possibly no recession is not actually a bad result.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Christopher Luxon: 6/10

\\n

Backing out of the housing density deal is the right thing to do. Politicians don\\u2019t like climb-downs, but climbing down is better than forging ahead with a dumb idea.

\\n

\\n

M\\u0101nuka honey: 4/10

\\n

It\'s a lot of lawyers, a lot of time, a lot of money - and they keep losing. Maybe, just maybe, manuka honey isn\'t actually exclusively ours. \\xa0

\\n

\\n

Hawkes Bay: 7/10

\\n

When you are dancing with Bordeaux and Napa in terms of wine, it\'s a reminder than if you do it right, we are as good as anyone, anywhere.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Te Huia: 3/10

\\n

It seems an odd thing to do to take an abject, transportation failure and then ask if it can be hopeless in Tauranga as well.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Phillip Schofield: 6/10

\\n

Of all the people of late that have been cancelled, I feel sorry for him most of all. Falling out with a friend shouldn\'t lead to a shafting. And then you\'ve got to ask what sort of friend does that anyway.

\\n

\\n

Ratings: 8/10

\\n

Big numbers out yesterday for the radio industry and another record audience for this show. We are number one in every town and city now - bar Northland. \\xa0

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Northland: 4/10

\\n

Come on Northland. Do you really want to be the odd one out?
