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.
Matt Payne: 9/10
Highlight of the week. Didn鈥檛 just win but won one of the best. Dreams coming true at 280km/h doesn鈥檛 get any better than that.
The ceasefire: 8/10
The rest is yet to unfold but Tuesday was a win for a lot of people.
Gail Parata: 8/10
My hero of the week. Standing on principal and speaking out is increasingly rare these days. Good on her.
The BSA: 2/10
Interventionist, sticky beak, trying it on, full of their own self importance - pick a term. The cold, hard truth is very few in broadcasting give a monkeys, given their irrelevancy.
Brian Tamaki: 8/10
Got turned down on closing the Auckland Harbour Bridge. Good. The bridge is for transport, not politics.
