New Zealand

New Zealand's overall policy signalling intensity is assessed at 61, placing it at the 14th position globally and in the 92.5th percentile. This score reflects a high level of policy signalling intensity, consistent with its dimension scores, which uniformly measure 63 across various categories. This indicates a balanced yet robust approach to Western-style progressive policy signalling, with no significant recent events tracked that would alter this assessment. The presence of strong LGBTQ protections, the legacy of Jacinda Ardern's leadership, and comprehensive DEI policies contribute to this consistent intensity level.

The dimension scores show a uniform intensity across all categories, including speech and expression climate, institutional DEI policy intensity, education and curriculum signalling, media and platform moderation, legislative/regulatory activism, corporate/investor signalling, and protest and activism salience. This suggests that New Zealand maintains a consistent approach across different areas of social policy signalling, with no particular category standing out as the highest or lowest. The country's policy framework appears to be well-rounded, with each dimension contributing equally to the overall signalling intensity.
