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.Â
Â
Grant Robertson: 7/10Â
Witty, decent bloke. He lightened the mood.Â
Â
Grant Robertson, the Finance Minister: 2/10Â
Buggered the economy and that, sadly, is his legacy.Â
Â
Ginny Anderson: 1/10Â
With a fulsome apology still pending, she ends the week having blown up her reputation, damaged her party and looking increasingly isolated in the hole she dug herself.Â
Â
Air NZ: 6/10Â
Result not so flash but telling us fees from Auckland Airport is going to stop us flying is bollocks. You can smell the PR department a mile away there.Â
Â
The 'Never Surrender" hi-tops: 8/10Â
They are actually cool.Â
Â
The fitness report: 4/10Â
We are a divided nation. Too many of us are fat. But it's in a world where increasingly a lot of us actually work at it and want to improve, proving there is no excuse if you want something bad enough.Â
Â
Taylor Swift Australian styles: 10/10Â
It's like nothing I have ever seen. The size, the scale, the income, the hysteria. We have seen individual components from others over the years but this is a new league. It's next level and you've got to admire it.Â
