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.

    That's a 30-year legacy we're going to miss, I'm afraid. The Qtown Film Facility, seven. Very good news story for the week. Fast track in action. Fast track, by the way, will never be flipped, no matter who runs the country, because it's returned common sense to decision-making. The envy. Eight. Yeah, $1 billion for an Apple. That's New Zealand Inc. with crunch. That's what we are capable of. More please. And that is the weak copies on the website, and watch out at Ruapuna this weekend. Matt Payne is wearing a special one-off Marking the Weak helmet. Chris Bishop and his cronies will lose the election for National. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Mike, if Chris was rolled, who would the voters go? Where would the voters go? Surely they wouldn't switch to the Labour and the Greens. Yeah, that's not the point I'm trying to make. I want to make the point that in a centre-left, centre-right election, yeah, of course, national would bleed, but they may well go to New Zealand first and act, and they may well survive because of it. But here's the thing, here's the point that no one's made so far. Ask yourself this very simple question. First of all, as I said before, just for the record reiteration, Chris Luxon is not resigning, full stop. He is not resigning. So they will need to mount a coup. They won't. They've got no balls. They're spineless. There's a handful of spineless losers in there that are fearing for their job. So they're not going to mount a coup. If they did, then guess what Winston would do? He'd go crossbench. Because who did he sign the deal with? He signed it with Luxon. And he's a lawyer. And what's the first thing a lawyer does? That's not the deal I signed. So he's off to the crossbench. You've got to go early. Would National want to go early? Ask yourself that simple question. And given the answer's no, this story stops and starts right here in that sense. There is no coup. And there is no resignation. So therefore, there can't be a breakdown in the government. There's no breakdown in the government. There's no election, therefore it's over. The story's finished. That's how Mike sees it. Now, the IMF, I thought, was in a way the most important story of the week globally because they said some really bold things and that is that you cannot buy your way out of trouble, which ironically goes back to Luxon and this government, because they haven't, because they can't afford to, because they understand fiscal reality. You look at Albanese, he hasn't got the slightest idea. So Gerard Lyons is Boris Johnson's man in terms of finance and money. He's with us from Britain after the news, which is next. Next.
