Is that a jib at our Met Services tiny rain radar with its hourly updates?

We are pointing out that many other nations have updates that are actually useful. Hourly updates are a bit like hourly rugby updates during a live rugby game. We want the NZ Govt to allow MetService to free up this vital service – not a dig at MetService as they are contracted by the Govt and I believe the NZ Govt dictates what is to be free and what isn’t.
