Just did the census. What a disgusting, invasive, constructive piece of work Clearly designed to develop stats that suit the current victim hoon narrative. Bloody disgrace. Whoever designed this is either mentally deficient or extremely ideological. I am a bloody 7th generation Kiwi!!! nothing else, Why is there not a Kiwi identifier available? I have so many ethnicities in me it is impossible to count. It is divisive and racist to not provide a Kiwi selection to ethnicity. Most of my mates are the same.

I WILL NEVER FILL OUT ANOTHER CENSUS. EVER. I will punch anyone who tries to make me a so doing out words in my mouth. Bloody marxists. Piss of!

In reply to Henry+Filth.

Exactly and then the nay sayers will bitch because there are no medical services they need .
Because they refuse to answer the questions.

LGTB people have been well under served for example because no one dared ask how many lgtb people exist in NZ let alone any other country.

So go ahead corey and throw a spaz but people like you with your attitude will only be denying yourselves services in the long run.

Liking how you’ve lumped the Gender Critical Feminists in with Crystal Karens, Qanon nutters, & antiVaxxers 🙂

Yes – it IS going to be a flop AGAIN! The information used to build hospitals, schools, is going to be inaccurate – and I believe significantly this time. And it’s not because of feelings or alignments – it’s because it looks like bloody junk mail and the ad campaign is incompetent. The management in charge should be sacked (but I doubt they will – probably run a really great line in bullshit).

You miss the point.

A failure will result in moving from a questionnaire-based Census to an administrative one.

The administrative Census model requires a form of identification linked to an address.

The libertarians will ensure that compulsory residential registration linked to a compulsory ID card becomes a reality.

Priceless!

I’m not doing it. They can try charge me.

This year they are asking about sexuality and gender identity.

The govt has no business asking these questions and should get the f*** out of the bedroom.

I’m not comfortable with a govt department having a list of names and addresses of who is f***ing who and if the woke think it’s a smart idea, what if in the unlikely but possibly event some radical authoritarian govt ever gets elected, it now has a list of who is what and where they live…

I have no faith in the state and while I’m openly gay, I refuses to answer the govts nosey af questions.

How the hell does knowing who you’re attracted to build more roads houses and hospitals…

I went to the Census website to order a paper form for an elderly relative. Took ages to find the order link, a small subtle *text link* [ instead of a big shiny button ] half way down the page and at least 3 bread crumbs inside their website indexing.

They REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY don’t want you doing it old skool.
