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

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Polls: 7/10\\xa0

\\n

They are in full flow now and provide an increasingly obvious view towards a change of Government.\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0\\xa0

\\n

Food: 3/10\\xa0

\\n

Real proof that the dreamers who claim inflation is on its way to normality next year haven\'t bought kumara lately.\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0\\xa0

\\n

The PREFU: 2/10\\xa0

\\n

By the time you look at the debt, the cost of servicing the debt, the stickiness of inflation and the extra spending it is a good insight as to why the polls are the way they are. Talk about wrecking the joint.\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0\\xa0

\\n

The Warriors: 6/10\\xa0

\\n

Because they are still alive and Shaun Johnson is back, but it needs to be a lot better than last week and a shite load better than the week before.\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0\\xa0

\\n

The All Blacks: 6/10\\xa0

\\n

Because a loss is bad but it\\u2019s a long tournament and the final is the goal, not the first game.\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0\\xa0

\\n

Novak Djokovic: 8/10\\xa0

\\n

Must surely be close to being the greatest of all time now?\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0\\xa0

\\n

King Charles: 7/10\\xa0

\\n

One year in and the poll this week showed he is a steady hand and Britain at least has no desire whatsoever to be a republic.\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0\\xa0

\\n

David Seymour: 6/10\\xa0

\\n

Still looks fresh, still has the one-liners but made a mistake with the confidence and supply threat and paid the price.\\xa0\\xa0
