Every Friday morning, Mike Hosking takes you through the big ticket items of the week and lets you know what he makes of it all.

Here's a taste of what he reckons.

The Whaitiri leak.

4/10.

"Read it, you'll find it's hardly a scandal.

But yet Ardern, in keeping it secret, gave the impression she had something from MI6."

Jacinda Ardern in New York.

7/10.  

"Domestic troubles aside these exercises are always futile in terms of results at the UN.

Butt hey are productive in terms of PR and noise for a small nation."

30 kilometre an hour speed limit.

2/10.

"Ah yes, the latest order from the politburo.

30 kilometres an hour. They are determined to have you on a donkey going no where."  

Air New Zealand's letter of apology.

8/10.

"It was classy.

When it hits the fan an apology always goes a long way."  

Taxpayers paying MPs' nannies travel.

6/10.

"I side on their side, just.

Being an MP is crap work, it's horrific hours and thankless to boot. There is a cost in an unusual, if not unique, job and given the world of waste in which we wander I'm not against footing a bill like this.

We spend money on worse and seem to accept it."  

Roger Tuivasa Sheck.

9/10.

"The best of the best.

The only Warrior to ever win the Dally M. And he's signed for years to come."
