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\xa0

The process of elections: 2/10\xa0

Surely we have collectively decided this week that three weeks is nutty. The Electoral Commission have some answers to produce and it can't be as hard and slow as they make it.\xa0

\xa0\xa0

The All Blacks: 8/10\xa0

I feel good, don\u2019t you? It's not a forgone done deal, but they look good, they look confident, and they look a lot better than when we all decided they weren't up to much.\xa0

\xa0\xa0

Andrew Webster: 8/10\xa0

A three-year extension for one of the best coaches we have seen in years.\xa0

\xa0\xa0

Houses: 6/10\xa0

Banks doors are open, apparently, to lower deposits - plus prices are rising and investors are bullish.\xa0

\xa0\xa0

Squid Game: 4/10\xa0

A real-life version of the movie on Netflix? Normally it's a movie of real life.\xa0

\xa0\xa0

Eight hour working day: 5/10\xa0

Fewer and fewer of us actually work eight hours. It seems work is all a bit hard for a growing number of us. What happened to work being fun and good for us?\xa0

\xa0\xa0

Donald Trump: 2/10\xa0

How many of his people have to turn and cut a deal before he is crushed under the weight of it?\xa0

\xa0\xa0

The rugby expansion: 7/10\xa0

The North/South thing I like, the World Cup changes are a waste of time\xa0
