New Zealand Today: Does The Prime Minister Not Believe in Dinosaurs?

What keeps New Zealand Today busy when Guy Williams posts nothing new? A rather unusual political question: “New Zealand Today: Does The Prime Minister Not Believe in Dinosaurs?” The episode investigates a rumor, not an established fact, and has reached nearly 88,000 views. Posted just before this upload-free week, it is drawing the most daily views of the channel's active videos.

Elsewhere on the shelf, Williams' search for Scooter Man in Timaru comes with a complication the description promises: more Scooter Men than expected. It's the small-town reporting premise of New Zealand Today in miniature, a specific assignment with room for the unexpected.

The channel added about 80,000 views over the week while its subscriber count stayed unchanged. Daily viewing is currently around a third of its usual pace, making this a slower stretch with the dinosaur investigation supplying much of the activity.
