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.

Pakistan: 6/10

Mystery of the week. Did they host talks? Were there any talks? What's the talks v BS ratio?

Oil: 7/10

Specifically, the Government's handling. Tickets, swaps, deals, and unsolicited offers – this looks and feels like it's in the hands of adults.

Labour and India: 3/10

This is why we can be grateful they are not in office for the war. They do little but stall and carp. The day you are against free trade you are basically not a New Zealander.

Booze: 7/10

Nice one Kieran, as the kid from the Wairarapa brings the modern world to Easter.

Allbirds: 3/10

It’s a sad story of a dream that was destined for a troubled end. Shoes are about fashion, not feels, and style, not vibes. Only a very small percentage of people are ever prepared to look rude while saving the planet.
