Where is your proof, you’ve offered an opinion. No facts provided by you Trev and “I know a few people” is fucking hilarious.
Martyn is correct, this is about hiding data and without data this CoC can’t be held accountable.

Another excellent example of the Emperor’s New Clothes which is their specialty, after all. They persist with not wanting to be told what is inconvenient and expensive to know and how stupid that always makes them look. As if it were possible for them to look any more stupid.
Also, another example of NZ going backwards.

Forget the people who refuse to fill out the forms, extrapolate.

“From 2030, key New Zealand census data and statistics will be produced every year, in a cost-effective and sustainable way.
“By tapping into information New Zealanders have already provided, we will deliver more relevant, useful, and timely data to help inform quality planning and decision making.”
Surveys will continue to play an important role, with a new annual survey asking census-type questions of a small percentage of the population….
[Sounds like targeted spying – does Palantir or ? come into this. The main census was supposed to be anonymous. This is more like the cat sitting outside the mouse escape hole in wait.]

When are men going to start requesting equal employment opportunities at upper levels seeing this is the second female statistician? Or is it a job with limited lustre?

What’s that saying It is very hard to get a change in opinion or decision from someone whose salary depends upon retaining that thing.’ So set up a belief on something, with the stats to back it, and then pour concrete on the status quo..quo..quo….

Were is your prove please give examples of how good the present system is .
