    I like the fact that this article <https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/nz-post-to-close-142-urban-retail-stores-as-network-overhauled/VU2JIQKV6JAF3HV2OYNELYV5UI/>
    lets you download the raw dataset for yourself, so you can do your own analysis. The article itself only reports on closures in the two main
    centres, but the dataset lists them all.

    Maybe not a happy article, but providing the dataset makes it more
    useful.

    The 13km for New Brighton looks way out, read incorrect. Even by the 4km metioned in the tex of the article. Fact checking on leave still?
