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. 

The economy: 4/10 

Between the GDP and the current account, it’s a bad week of data. You could argue the upside is it might be the worst of it. It might be better from here on in. 

Whining unions: 3/10 

This week it was relief teachers. Name me the last time unions said something, anything, positive. 

The race edict: 8/10 

Because doing stuff, handing stuff out, based on nothing more than race is racist. 

The All Blacks: 7/10 

Australia comes at just the right time. What we need off two losses is someone pretty useless. Australia - come on in. 

Liam Lawson: 9/10 

If the word is accurate, by the time the weekend is out we will have our next full-time driver in F1. 

Federated Farmers: 125/10 

That’s a birthday worth celebrating and of all the advocacy groups, I think they could be close to being my favourite.
