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, he's got a different set of agendas and policies. You know, he believes wrongly and he is dead wrong on the Indian FTA. He is trying to scaremonger. He's trying to crank it up. We've seen him do it, whether it's on. You know, the Frontier brand sale, whether it's the Alliance sale, whether it's been the China FTA, the Indian FTA, he has, for want of a better word, an anti-immigrant sort of bias in his party and his constituency and his belief system. We don't buy that. We've got smart, targeted immigration settings in New Zealand that have served us well. We changed them. Eric Sampson has done an excellent job of hardening those up over the last two years and going about it in a smart way. But we differ on that area. But we also agree very strongly on it. You know, we've got to grow the economy. Economy, we've got to restore law and order, we've got to deliver better health and education, and we have huge areas of alignment there. I'm just saying to you, welcome to MMP. Parties have different stands. There's six parties in Parliament today. They have different constituents. They have different policies. Some align, some don't. And at the end of the day on election night, we try and make it work as an MMP environment which the New Zealand people have given us. The only answer is if you want to send a right government, you've to have a national government.
