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.

defending hunting rights against interference

\\ \\ **Press Release**\\ \\ **ACT says hunters, not bureaucrats, should lead conservation**\\ \\ ****Nicole McKee****\\ \\ 25 Jul 2026\\ \\ “New Zealand hunters have spent generations in the backcountry. Every weekend they're out managing game animals, controlling predators, restoring huts, clearing tracks, and running trap lines. They do it because they love these places, not because they're paid. No group has done more for the backcountry, yet Government still treats hunters like a problem instead of one of our greatest conservation assets," says ACT Deputy Leader Nicole McKee, announcing the Party’s policy for hunters at the Hunting & Wildlife Expo this weekend.\\ \\ **Read More**
