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.

  • Yeah, listen Cam, it's good to talk to you. Thank you mate, appreciate it. Cameron Bagri, founder of... under a bag of economics okay um i i have a suspicion that this is nowhere else so you may well be hearing this first because i can't i can't see that any other media outlet has got this but rod dreary has taken what i think is an extraordinary step and has released to us just now a statement in response to the woman who has claimed that he harassed her sexually at zero he says Given the relentless nature of the reporting, I believe it is important to provide context. I reject any allegation of wrongdoing. Ali Nayler and I had a limited consensual relationship 10 years ago. Communications show a friendship over the course of two years and that Ali was a willing participant in that limited relationship. That friendship was based on us working closely together and having children of a similar age. We spent time together socially including her arranging a visit. visit to my holiday home over summer. I have given that detail reluctantly to give more context and accuracy to the nature of the relationship because the media reporting has been selective and misleading. Any other relationships I had over that period were consensual and mutual, obviously indicating there were others. I know I may be criticised by some for making this statement but given the level of attention and the way this has been reported I believe it is important to set the record straight for my sake and my families. Now um I can't stress enough to you how unusual it is for somebody who's been accused of something like this, sexual harassment, to actually put out a statement and try to clear their name. I think this statement actually does call into question the veracity of what the woman has said here, because this reads very much like there was some sort of sexual activity going on, right? Like limited sexual activity. Maybe we're not talking fourth base, but we're talking something here. In which case you have to ask. Ask why is she complaining about the fact that he had her at his house and asked to kiss her but then didn't kiss her? Why is she complaining about that when he reckons, or at least infers, that a lot more happened? Also, why is she complaining that he tried to kiss her one time at the apartment but then she arranged to go to his beach house? Which hasn't been made public which suggests there is selective information being released here I mean, I think there are some serious questions here about the her version of events But also the fact that he's released this information suggests there's more coming from her There is obviously a campaign here because this looks like a classic front footing So I'm guessing we haven't heard the end of this but as I say sounds to me like you heard it here first quarter past If recent market noise has you second guessing your investment strategy, you are not alone. I've got ASB's chief investment officer, Frank Jasper here to help us make sense of what is going on. Frank, hello.
