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.

Oliver Hartwich.

9/10.

"Read his piece this week.

We don’t know how to have a national conversation, and we have fostered a social conformity that makes it hard to speak one's mind.

It's true, it's an awesome insight, and it's a must read."

Donald Trump.

8/10.

"If energy is votes, he's home free."

Joe Biden.

4/10.

"Is he really so far ahead he has to do virtually nothing?"

Melbourne and Victoria.

7/10.

"Because having been through lockdown ourselves we all felt the relief, didn’t we?

But they were only there because of a scurrilous and scandalous amount of ineptitude."

LVRs.

4/10.

"Almost certainly back, at least for investors, next month.

Adrian Orr will be reading OneRoof and freaking out."

Biscuits and the Labour/Greens Negotiations.

2/10.

That’s been our government for two weeks now.

A couple of meetings, no comment, just talk about biscuits.

Fortunately, there's nothing really important going on..."

Free Money for SMEs.

4/10.

"Kiwibank called them grants. But free money is free money.

And I can't help but think it’s the banks wanting the government to do what they should be working harder at, supporting small business."

Heart Foundation's Recommendations on Red Meat.

4/10.

"350 grams a week, one lonely steak.

And, as it turned out, it got a lot of pushback from a lot of you that clearly like a steak, and won't be told what is good and what is too much."

Scott Dixon's 6th IndyCar Championship.  

9/10.

"Still amazingly underrated despite all the success.

He is literally one of the greatest of all time, and yet the Americans know him better than we do."

Sport.

8/10.

"Between the AFL, the NRL, and the baseball, it was a great week.

Three seasons were completed this week, and how grateful have we been for sport?"
