Census to be replaced with ‘annual surveys and government data’ by 2030

NZ Census news

New Zealand will no longer conduct its traditional five-yearly Census, with the last full count completed in 2023.

Statistics Minister Shane Reti announced the change today, saying the current model is financially unsustainable and will be replaced by annual population surveys and administrative data from government agencies by 2030.

There will be no 2028 Census.

The move follows years of poor completion rates and technical failures and aims to deliver faster, more cost-effective “insights”.

  1. This just means govt will start pushing for a digital ID so they can have access to ALL your data, for the good of the country of course. Then it will really be anonymous…..hehehe.

  2. Poor participation data….because the people do not trust government anymore!
    And they can bet their wrinkly autocratic pussbutts that any survey will increasingly be subverted and spoiled by the people who HAD ENOUGH OF GOVERNMENT!

    • Spot on.
      “The Government will also invest $16.5 million to deliver a monthly Consumers Price Index (CPI) from 2027, bringing New Zealand into line with other advanced economies. This will provide more timely inflation data to help the Government and Reserve Bank respond quickly to cost-of-living pressures, said Reti”.
      The very same “silent tax mechanism” that these two thieves themselves create by borrowing currency into existence and forcing we the people to pay for it. Then they use the CP Iie index to show how great they are in controlling the very inflation they themselves created.
      Had enough alright.

      • Yeah- also New Zealand advanced economy? Pfffft I don’t think so 😂 the way we are going is headed back to a feudal society. Landlards vs tenants.

    • Exactly Keith- they don’t want the population to see the massive decline due to the Bio-Weapon Covid ‘vaccines’ and ‘boosters’…

      & BTW- ones does not have to comply with any of the StatsNZ crap, as noted below;

      Under the UN Human Rights Treaty, Part 1, Item 1.1, we see that New Zealand agreed in 1978 to be legally bound by the ICCPR Articles 12 and 17. Under Article 17, items 1 & 2 addresses the bound agreement that ‘No one shall be subjected to arbitrary or unlawful interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, etc. & ‘in reflection, the scope of Article 17 protects privacy, but also interference with the individual’s family and home life, written affairs, and personal identity and standing.’
      The causal effect of this is that the Stats NZ ‘survey’ is actually an audit, and an intrusive one which we believe conflicts with UN Articles that protect us and violates our privacy while putting our gathered information at risk from hackers, etc.

    • You can’t hide death or birth figures. Each needs a certificate and to be registered so there’s no hiding the deaths.

      Might I say I follow the death notices and there are a lot of very elderly people dying as you would expect but there are a lot of under 70s “dying suddenly” or “passing away in their sleep”

      Then there’s the walking dead. All the people around you who have had blood clots, strokes, heart attacks, aortic aneurysms, cancer, Heart palpitations, autoimmune diseases. IBS, infertility etc etc

      My 2 healthy godparents passed away within 2 weeks of each other. Both got cancer and went downhill very quickly. Same batch?
      Very sudden and very strange. 😩

  3. Now the UK are going to sneak in the digital ID calling it Britcard and pushing it by saying this will be mandatory for employment so it will be a tool stopping illegal migrants. Also it will be mandatory for renting a house. Sounds very British and of course lots will go with it because it’s a tool against illegal migrants.
    Very clever.
    Kiwicard anyone?
