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.

Adrian Orr: 3/10

Adrian isn't my hero of the week. He did what he should have done, but the way he did it yet again reminds us that the Covid experiment and the economic carnage that went with it is the result of people who could have done a vastly better job.

Elon Musk: 4/10

When your reputation is already hurting the value of your car company, interviewing a mate on your other company platform, only for that to not work either, isn't a good look.

Kamala Harris: 7/10

It's been a week of evidence that, to this point at least, shows the “switch out” has worked. People are engaged, the polls have closed, and the momentum is hers.

Crime: 2/10

41,000 up to 50,000 retail incidents. For all the noise, promises and headlines I'm pretty sure the stats show it's going the wrong way.

The crime committee set up to reverse the retail crime stats: 2/10

Despite the promise the first ideas were weeks away, weeks later they haven't even met.

The All Blacks: 6/10

They will win well, because that’s what they do, and more than 25,000 will watch it. I hope.

The All Blacks are looking to right last week’s wrongs as they face off against Argentina in this weekend’s rematch.

The side had their first loss under the new management of Scott Robertson, going down 30-38 in Wellington.

They’ll be playing in Eden Park, the first time they’ve faced Argentina in Auckland since the 2011 World Cup quarterfinal.

All Black starting flanker Ethan Blackadder told Mike Hosking they had a good honest review on Monday and picked up their laps and cracked on with it ahead of this weekend’s game.

He said that they’re really excited for Saturday because it’s an opportunity to turn it around.

Balancing directors' safety and accountability is the goal of the Commerce Minister's shake up of the Companies Act.

Andrew Bayly is looking to make it harder to "phoenix", in which assets are transferred from indebted companies to new ones, leaving the former to face insolvency.

He says they want to make it easier to catch directors doing the wrong thing, which will be done by assigning every director a unique digital number.

Another measure is allowing directors to take their home addresses off the companies register.

Andrew Bayly says there's a perception of risk, especially among female directors, and they will instead be able to list a more work-related address such as an office, or a related entity like a lawyer or an accountant.

Two doctors are among those accused of taking advantage of Matthew Perry's drug addiction before his death.

The Friends star died in his hot tub last October from the acute effects of ketamine and subsequent drowning.

Five people are facing charges, including two doctors for falsely prescribing, selling, or injecting Ketamine to Perry.

Sky News reports court documents reveal doctor Salvador Plasencia wrote in a text: "I wonder how much this moron will pay".

US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking the doctors could face life in prison if convicted.

Rumours have been circulating that the Saudi-backed LIV Golf is teeing up an event in Christchurch, possibly as early as next year.

The Herald understands LIV Golf has been looking at the possibility of bringing a high-profile tournament to Christchurch Golf Club to New Zealand’s second oldest club.

Christchurch Golf Club general manager Mike Hadley confirmed to the Herald that LIV Golf officials have “visited” the course but as yet, “there’s been no follow-up”.

Jeff Latch, Golf NZ CEO, told Mike Hosking that the LIV event in Adelaide has really taken off, with LIV arguing that it’s probably their best event around the world.

He said they understand they’re looking to move that event from April to February, and while they’re down in the Southern Hemisphere, there’s potential for there to be New Zealand events adjacent to the Australian events.

A new short-term worker visa's proving popular within the wine growing industry.

Immigration Minister Erica Stanford's creating a new subcategory of the Specific Purpose Work Visa to help employers in upcoming seasonal peaks.

She says the roles can't last longer than nine months and exclude jobs usually covered by the Recognised Seasonal Employer Scheme like fruit pickers.

New Zealand Winegrowers CEO Philip Gregan says these changes will make a big difference and are very welcome.

He says last year they had about 400 of these workers who carry out very specialist roles, and without them they just wouldn't be able to process the grapes.
