Published: May 2, 2024, 9:52 p.m.

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

\xa0

Julie-Anne Genter: 0/10\xa0

She's unhinged.\xa0

\xa0

James Shaw: 7/10\xa0

Badly let down by a narcissist who stole the headlines by being unhinged.\xa0

\xa0

Pay rises: 5/10\xa0

When it comes to MPs and money you can't win. Some are brilliant and some are liabilities, but the pay structure doesn\u2019t take that into account, hence you have what you have.\xa0

\xa0

Martin Freeman: 7/10\xa0

Truth to power. He's no longer a vegetarian after he discovered the meat alternatives weren't actually that flash for you, reminding us that when you read the label it's often a lot different to the marketing.\xa0

\xa0

Fast track: 7/10\xa0

It's depressing to watch the people who whine about actually getting on with stuff.\xa0

\xa0

Premium economy: 7/10\xa0

A 19% increase in sales at the front of the plane. What cost of living crisis?\xa0

\xa0

Te Huia: 2/10\xa0

$500 a seat subsidisation. It's the premium economy of public transport.\xa0
