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.

    Hence the blockade, hence the squeeze, hence the theory behind it all. Now I've got some very good news on the job front this morning and this I guess is still pre-war. But it seems to be like the manufacturing numbers we had from Japan, Australia and the US. There are bits and pieces of economies around the world that seem still to be holding up well which is... Which is good. So this is the new Seek Employment Report for March. Job ads are up 0.8% for the month. They're also up 3.5% for the quarter, 13% year on year. So they're good numbers. So that'll make it the sixth month in a row that the number of applications per ad has dropped. So it's down 2.8 month on month. So it's seemingly easier to get a job because there are more of them as opposed to I'm assuming it's because there are more of them as opposed to people giving up. AI references and job ads are up 144%, but is up a very, off a very, very low base. South Island usual story. Southland up 25, I'm going to call it 26, 26% year on year. Otago and Canterbury follow that. North Island catching up. All regions are now up on job ads year on year, all except Auckland. Auckland grows month on month. Waikato best performer for the North, up 17% for the year. Marlborough only region to go backwards year on year, but it's only down 0.7%. since I'm not sure what's going on in Marlborough that'll have something to do with horticulture is my suspicion where are the jobs what sort of jobs are their construction which is the weirdest thing isn't it because all you ever hear from the construction industries especially from the unions is construction shocking labor spends half their life in question time talking about all the construction jobs that lost and yet construction jobs are up 36% so it is a boomy busty sort of business and it seems to be more boomy than busty at the moment our jobs on farm Perhaps not surprisingly, you're up 33% in the year. Trades, manufacturing, transport, engineering, consulting, they're all up above 20%. Biggest losers, jobs and sport and rec. Media and advertising down 11% each. So that's your job market for this morning. Meantime at Treasury, they're just a bit of jiggery pokery on the numbers to work out what on earth's going on. And they came up with scenarios yesterday, which is the same as me coming up with scenarios or the same as you coming up with scenarios. I mean, one of the scenarios was inflation at 7 or 8% and oil at... well at 180 so is that going to happen who would know probably not but Murray Horn once worked at Treasury so we'll get his insight in the next half hour of the program the FTA at last is go was Labour playing silly buggers on that you reckon I mean of course they were Glenn's nodding and if Glenn nods he nods for us all couldn't agree more we'll talk about the super rugby we'll talk about the sale GP we'll talk to Tim and Katie and then we'll all go home how's that sound news is next
