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.

Auckland Transport: 2/10 \xa0

In a week in which a lot of people looked exceedingly ordinary Auckland Transport was as good as it got with its "Drive to Elton" campaign.

\xa0

Wayne "Drongo" Brown: 4/10

I don\u2019t think anyone, not even Wayne, thinks it went well this week.

\xa0

The media's obsession with Wayne: 4/10

It\u2019s a bit obvious that they hate him because he beat their mate Efeso Collins and he won\u2019t kowtow to their every whim.

\xa0

Inflation: 4/10

7.2 percent isn\u2019t the answer. Not going down at all isn't the answer - a lot of the world is now dropping so why aren't we?

\xa0

Chris Hipkins: 7/10 \xa0

One week in he's basically done nothing wrong. Got a poll bounce and handed out more free money.

\xa0

The Women's FIFA World Cup: 3/10

If the Saudi's are confirmed, this is a mess. We can't on one hand be all high and mighty over human rights, while at the same time turning a blind eye as host, while pocketing the cash and pretending it\u2019s got nothing to do with us.

\xa0

Polls: 8/10

We love polls and we've had a couple this week, including the media merger one that has hardly anyone supporting the idea. And thus exposing the other poll from the public media wonks who insisted there was a pile of support. Not all polls are created equal.

\xa0

Penny Wong: 1/10

Goes to Britain to tell them to address their colonial past. There is nothing worse than a condescending, limousine lefty from the colonies telling you how to run your country.
