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. 

 

Netball's gold medal: 8/10 

The story of the Games and for Noeline, a gargantuan middle finger to the fools who ran the sport and did what they did to her. 

 

The Commonwealth Games: 6/10 

It seemed a success, but it also seemed an open question as to its need, or real interest. 

 

The Strait of Hormuz: 2/10 

We seem to be there or thereabouts, again, this morning. Trump has got to be losing sleep over this because it’s a gargantuan humiliation. 

 

Car sales: 7/10 

How come if we are so glum we go buy new cars? New car sales are rocketing. 

 

Election enrolments: 8/10 

Change the rules and cue the moaners, until the facts get published and, what do you know, more people are enrolled than the past three elections. So, it's not actually a problem at all proving, yet again, attitude is everything.
