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.

  • Good afternoon, New Zealand. Welcome to the country. I'm Jamie McKay. The show is brought to you by Isuzu and Farmlands. Looking forward to broadcasting next week, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from the farmland site, E108 at Field Days. A lot of water to go under the bridge between now and then. We're going to head up to Marsden Point. Shane Jones is waiting on the end of the phone. I think he's up there for a bit of a photo opportunity in election year. We'll find out what he's been up to. And why have there been six animal welfare complaints lodged with MPI after he cradled a crayfish in its final hours in Parliament? Only the Prince of the Province is uh can pull that sort of stuff off. Jen Corcran was Rabobank's senior animal protein analyst. They've just come out. In fact, it's not even out yet. We're previewing the June Agribusiness Monthly, and it's very much it's very much a good news, bad news scenario. Good news on the income side of the ledger, bad news on the cost side of it. Andrew Gibson, we're heading for Taranaki there. Uh you'll tell you what a cow's worth. A fortune to be perfectly honest. Chris Russell's our Aussie correspondent. We're going to catch up with him and talking about cows. What does a super El Nino mean for a dairy cow? We're staring down the barrel of one of those, apparently. We'll tell you before the end of the hour. But up next, that's Shane Jones at Marsden Point.
