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

The Police: 7/10

The adjustment to pursuits is a reminder that under Andrew Coster they\u2019ve got it wrong and they\u2019ve got it wrong because of Government direction.

\xa0

Fog cannons: 2/10

An astonishingly blatant failure to address real harm. They're not even here until next year. It looked like bungled panic.

\xa0

Entrenchment: 0/10

Probably the worst thing this Government has tried so far. When you literally look to gerrymander the system you are in the realm of the Third World, the despots and the crooks.

\xa0

Ben Bell: 6/10

Small bit of advice; never give in to the whiners and those who hate change, especially when you\u2019ve got a mandate.

\xa0

The red meat study: 7/10

It won't kill you after all. Yet another reminder of how so much of what we have been lectured about simply isn't true.

\xa0

Lydia Ko: 8/10

Star of the week. Being No.1 is great but dropping off and getting back is the real story. Persistence is an awesome attribute.

\xa0

Car prices: 3/10

You interfere in the market with fees and rebates and rules and ideology and what happens? Prices to go up, sales to go down. What an awesome business model.

\xa0

The gaming industry: 7/10

Bright spot of the week as the growth rages on.

\xa0

Agriculture: 8/10

The other bright spot of the week as sales of anything red and edible bring in the heavyweight money, along with the milk to wash it all down.

\xa0

Immigration: 1/10

Low light of the week as yet again, this time with the partners open visa, we are reminded that we have a policy that is breaking us and a minister overseeing it who is an idiot.
