What the picker changes
  • Top topics digest — the cards score the selected period against the prior 4 weeks.
  • 12-week heatmap & outlet matrix — show the 12 weeks ending at the selected week (they slide back with the picker, they aren’t a fixed snapshot).
  • Per-topic volume / alias drift — same 12-week trailing window, anchored on the selected period.
  • Coverage gap quadrant — scores the selected period against the 12 weeks before it (not including it).
  • Anomaly cards — only show alerts the detector fired during the selected period. Quiet weeks legitimately show none.
What stays as-is
  • Outlet orientation strip / lean colours — context-only, drawn from the last 12 weeks of activity regardless.
  • Co-occurrence graph — recent-activity anchored, not picker-driven.
  • Source & topic profiles — all-time data for the topic; the picker doesn’t affect them.
Rolling 7 days is a sliding live window for “current vibes”; switch to Weekly to compare specific weeks side-by-side.

  • No, I think New Zealand First is selective about the comments they make when it comes to immigration. They've not said much about this visa. It is enormously successful. We've got people from all over the world and they know the value in it, which is why they agreed to allow us to have these people buy houses because they know that the longer these people spend here, the more they will invest in New Zealand businesses. So, you know, those were really unfortunate and quite distasteful comments that were. you know designed in an election year like they always do to bring out you know the worst and I already said the comments weren't were unhelpful but I think New Zealanders when they come to the voting box will think is this the kind of party that I want to support that would say such nasty racist things to stoke up hatred in New Zealand and I hope that they will make a different decision.
