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
\\nThe Police: 7/10
\\nThe 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.
\\n\\xa0
\\nFog cannons: 2/10
\\nAn astonishingly blatant failure to address real harm. They\'re not even here until next year. It looked like bungled panic.
\\n\\xa0
\\nEntrenchment: 0/10
\\nProbably 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.
\\n\\xa0
\\nBen Bell: 6/10
\\nSmall bit of advice; never give in to the whiners and those who hate change, especially when you\\u2019ve got a mandate.
\\n\\xa0
\\nThe red meat study: 7/10
\\nIt won\'t kill you after all. Yet another reminder of how so much of what we have been lectured about simply isn\'t true.
\\n\\xa0
\\nLydia Ko: 8/10
\\nStar of the week. Being No.1 is great but dropping off and getting back is the real story. Persistence is an awesome attribute.
\\n\\xa0
\\nCar prices: 3/10
\\nYou 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.
\\n\\xa0
\\nThe gaming industry: 7/10
\\nBright spot of the week as the growth rages on.
\\n\\xa0
\\nAgriculture: 8/10
\\nThe 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.
\\n\\xa0
\\nImmigration: 1/10
\\nLow 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.
\\n\\xa0
