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.

New Zealand: 7/10

Between the investment conference, the India trip about to unfold, and the huge boost in visa interest from wealthy foreigners, that’s not a bad week's work for a small country trying to get its mojo back.

Tariffs: 2/10

The idiocy driving the ideology has been on full display. Random numbers, multiple threats, increased costs - all it has done this week is tank markets, decrease value, freak people out, provide uncertainty, and generally reinforce the idea that the U.S President is random as, if not dangerous.

Whanganui: 7/10

That council with the payment for meetings and dumping the food scraps is rolling. It's not often a council does two good things in a week.

Liam Lawson: 8/10

It's early days and the pressure is real, but F1 is as big as sport gets anywhere and he is at the pointy end of it.

Fonterra: 9/10

Yet another payment upgrade. Those guys can't stop giving away money. We like that too.

Malcolm Turnbull: 7/10

Sort of my hero of the week. If you give into bullies, you get more bullying. In politics, and life, it's sage advice.
