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. 

Good ideas: 7/10 

Not a bad week. Monthly inflation data, the census scrapped, the Housing Minister to overrule council and health targets improving. Things feel a bit like they're moving. 

The Crusaders: 7/10 

A great comeback story for Rob Penney, who was vilified a year ago, on the verge of being a hero this weekend. 

Nico Porteous: 7/10 

Story of the week in some ways for me. Living his dream, charting his destiny, and mature beyond his years. I wish him well. 

Venice: 3/10 

They're protesting the Jeff Bezos wedding. He has booked the place out, he is throwing money at the joint, and they are a tourist town. What is it you want? 

Radio NZ: 4/10 

They're looking for people to quit and that, sadly, is what you get when the Willie 'Snake Oil' Jackson rolls his circus into town to hand out lollies that can never be real. 

The world: 4/10 

It’s a mess, isn't it? This time last week yet another war started and where traditionally we have a country and a leader that rises to the occasion, sadly these days there's no such luck. He's too busy launching his gold phone.
