How will special votes play out in the NZ election. Plug in the same shifts as we had in 2017 and 2020 or adjust the expected party vote yourself. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/vote-2023-interactive-special-votes-could-change-the-balance-of-power-for-national-led-government/JGUQ4T53WNFLJPIO746Z2J2AFI/

Trying to get in the habit of cross-posting - tweeted this yesterday :)
I put together a small interactive to look at how close the election is and see how small changes from polled voting intention could affect the outcome.
See it in Audrey Young's article https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/election-2023-can-labour-win-from-here/XNPWKLMXJFG2ZH7UK6XS2WGXKU/
Prompted by a @kevinschaul blog post I now have self-hosted interactive maps working on the NZ Herald - e.g https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/maori-language-week-interactive-map-shows-original-tangata-whenua-place-names-prior-to-settler-arrival/V6MNAH7ZXVAMZLNC6XS3TWKD74/
MarkNZ has recorded the largest increase in the number of registered deaths since the 1918 influenza pandemic, new data for the year ending Dec2022 from Stats NZ shows there were 38,574 deaths in 2022, 10.4 per cent (3642) more than in 2021.
This increase - attributed to Covid-19 and an ageing population - is the biggest year-on-year jump since the 55.4 per cent (5835) spike in deaths in the 1918 flu pandemic, and was mostly in older age groups.

Mike DickisonOn Saturday 11 Feb there's a #Wikipedia Edit-a-thon in Dunedin (and online) to improve New Zealand #insect articles—all the contenders in the first NZ Bug of the Year competition. If you're in #Dunedin, come along and help, or check out the To Do list online and pick an insect to work on. The more the merrier! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Dunedin_5

Yesterday Auckland had more rain than the total amount it gets in many (43 of the last 60) summers!

Nick TierneyHi folks!
I'm a research software engineer, working on making fun #rstats packages for data analysis - from exploratory data analysis, to statistical modelling, to listing synonyms!
Here are some of my favourite packages I've written:
{visdat}: docs.ropensci.org/visdat
{naniar}: naniar.njtierney.com
{brolgar}: brolgar.njtierney.com
{conmat}: https://njtierney.github.io/conmat/
I currently help maintain the {greta} package for statistical modelling. https://greta-stats.org/ which builds simple and scalable statistical models using #TensorFlow
Follow me for #rstats questions, answers, and ocassional digressions into hiking and discussions on ultralight gear.
