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.

  • Welcome back to the country 23 away from one on pink shirt day, anti-bullying day. Michelle's in here. She's claiming that I've bullied her by not letting her drive the new Isuzu MUX 7. Hold your powder for a moment, Michelle, because speaking of ISU, um, the blong backed hardworking Kiwis. And if you're in farming trades or rural life, chances are you already know why. These are vehicles built with real truck DNA. The D Max Ute uh brings a three-litre turbo diesel engine with three and a half ton towing capacity and the strength and durability to handle whatever the farm or the job site throws at it season after season. And if you need the extra seats like me, put your golf clubs in, uh, you get the MUX SUV. Gives you seven of them. You can fold them all down, you've got a huge back boot, then same towing power as the uh D Max, just more room for the family or the crew or the golf clubs. Okay, here's the deal. From the 5th to the 7th of June, as we head into field days, the mid-year muster sale is on at Isuzu dealerships nationwide. It's your chance to get an out the gate deal on a new DMAX or the MUX, that's the uh SUV. And every new Isuzu comes with a double tough six-year warranty for genuine peace of mind. Don't sit on the fence, head into your local Isuzu dealership from the seventh or the fifth to the seventh of June and get a deal done. Cameron Bagri, independent economist, my economist, my favorite economist here on the country. Always always a go-to guy, Cameron. Right, oh, let's start with this 4.1% rise in global food prices. Uh and the obviously the resulting inflation around that. Not good news, but could it be uh every cloud having a silver lining? Could this be good news for New Zealand farmers?
