Who's counting anyway? Killing the NZ Census

from The Frontline with Dr Gary Payinda · host Big Hairy Network

The New Zealand government has announced that after 174 years, they're ending the NZ Census, to save money. The census helps decide what infrastructure and services YOUR community will get: roads, schools, police, hospitals. If it's inaccurate, your community loses stuff it needs. On The Frontline, Professor Paul Spoonley tells us whether dropping the census is likely to be a smart move forward, or a big step backward.https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/in-depth/564560/the-traditional-census-has-been-switched-off-what-happens-nowDr Gary's Substack https://substack.com/@drgarypayinda
