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

\\n

Recession: 3/10

\\n

Welcome to it. This is the tangible outworking of a Government that printed, and spent, and wasted money they never had.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

The Auditor General\'s report into the Provincial Growth Fund reset: 8/10

\\n

A valuable piece of work that laid bare the fundamental incompetence, mixed with dishonesty, that in it\'s own way explains why we are in recession.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

The Police: 4/10

\\n

Their display and their defence of their actions in Opotiki this week shows you all that is wrong with the social fabric and moral compass of this country.

\\n

\\n

Josh Emmett: 6/10

\\n

Hanging out with and being spruiked by Gwyneth Paltrow and Goop is not a bad life.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Housing: 6/10

\\n

The general consensus is we have reached the bottom and in some parts of the country we are on the way back up.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Food: 2/10

\\n

It\'s over 12% more expensive. You\'ve got to ask those who think inflation has peaked, just what is it they are seeing that we aren\'t.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

The Warriors: 8/10

\\n

Another superb win, if not the win of the season. Man this is enjoyable. It\'s so enjoyable, I reckon this could be our year.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

IAG: 3/10

\\n

20-30% increases in insurance will turn into one of the major social talking points going forward. You have to be able to afford to insure yourself, otherwise you look like America.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

1800 frontline police: 2/10

\\n

What a con. "1800 front line, 1800 on the beat". Until, of course, it turned out not to be true
