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.

  • No hoping rap band from the 90s. I didn't realise that. Thank you, Texter. On the text line, 5009, we do love your feedback. Here's one from someone who hasn't left their name. You don't have to leave your name. What are the dead rats we have to swallow with the India FTA? Billions getting spent in India instead of New Zealand and rampant immigration. I'm not sure you're right about that. I think you're referencing the $30 billion over the next 20 years or whatever. That is an aspirational number. Nowhere is it inked that that has to be spent. And you've got to remember, with a population of 1.4 billion people and climbing, New Zealand companies want to get over there and climb into India. It's the biggest market in the world. Why wouldn't you go over there and invest? Look, I make no bones about it. We need to sign this FTA as soon as possible. Just the Fonterra share numbers or share price numbers trading currently at $4.55 so you've got to add $2 to that because it was a capital return so that under the old measurement would have been $6.55 which would have been an all-time high because I see previously the best Fonterra this is the co-op shares by the way got to was $6.45 so there you go a lot of money being spent or injected into the economy. Only this week, because of Fonterra, the other big news, we mentioned that with the Prime Minister, Tane Randall standing for New Zealand first in Tukituki up against Catherine Weard, who is, from what I've seen of her anyhow, a very effective politician. That will be interesting. We'll try and get Tane on tomorrow's show. But up next, another new bloke with a new job. He starts on May 1, Richard Allen. Fonterra's chief executive in waiting.
