Census declared a 'success' despite return estimates falling short of target
Statistics Minister Deborah Russell has told Parliament she considers this year's Census a success despite appearing to fall short of the 90% return target.
The return period for the final census forms is set to end at 5pm on Friday, and Russell on Thursday said forms for more than 4.5 million people had so far been returned.
It indicated an estimated individual return rate of 89% nationally, with rates of 74% and 79% for Māori and Pacific people respectively.
She said that compared to the 2018 raw-return completion rate of about 83.3%, 67.4% for Māori and 63.7% for Pacific people.
The 2018 census was plagued by difficulties however, with returns the lowest in 50 years - down from 94.5% in 2013 - and the Māori and Pacific rates were considered "unacceptably low" even after being boosted by a new method integrating additional data.
Let's just keep on putting out BS Feel Good Excuses on it .. it's just fine

Cabinet minister Kiri Allan confirms relationship break-up with Māni Dunlop, returns to Parliament after mental health break
Now that that personal laundry has been hung out for all to see - are there any other Labour Ministerial seatwarmers who want to hang out theirs in public .. before the Head Clown gets back to pick up the pieces of the unruly gaggle ?
Grow a pair - Woman .. this is Parliament .. not your own personal life announcements chamber
Most are probably already aware that Willie & Andy are still sound asleep under their desks counting sheep .. likely still awaiting confirmation of extended holiday leave
What a nasty post. Think before you write this sort of rubbish.
Kiri Allan just recovered from Stage 3 cervical cancer & brutal chemo treatment about 18 months ago, as a minister has had to deal with the devastating impacts of Cyclone Gabrielle & continuing destruction caused by severe weather events, plus the pandemic, and now under the full glare of public scrutiny a relationship break up.
Enough stress to crush anyone, but she has resilience, courage & determination in spades.
She took a few days off.
You grow a pair!
Or at least grow up.

Those buying Taylor Switch adventure tickets (I say adventure if they require to buy air tickets to fly over) are those that have the wealth and are unaffected by the rising cost of inflation. This may be the top 5% of the population.
Now that 29¢/L is going to be added to the petro pumps, this will squeeze more pressure on those on limited income.

Exactly - 2000 seats costing $500 on average = $1m. Not going to make much of a dent.
The 29c/L cost the government $781m which will now be borne by the driving public. That along with increased interest rates are going to hurt.
