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. 

C-listers: 7/10 

Burn of the week. I love people who call it like it is. 

Granny flats: 7/10 

A common sense policy and we need more of it. 

GDP: 8/10 

Come on! We beat Australia! Can't you feeeell the growth? Surely this makes us a rockstar economy again? Surely? Right? 

The Defence Force plane: 3/10 

The outworkings of numerous Governments that lacked back bone and never understood basic investment. 

Sail GP in Christchurch: 4/10 

They said they wouldn't be back, and they won't be. When a dolphin beats growth, tourism, marketing and income it explains a lot about the malaise. 

Janet Dickson: 6/10 

Good luck to her. Real estate agents get what her argument is, but I suspect she will lose in court. 

Eden Park: 8/10 

A Super Rugby game sold out. About damn time. 

Joseph Parker: 8/10 

Warm vibes from me. A really nice guy who sits comfortably these days in his own skin. It's been awesome to watch the journey over the last decade.
