Shane Reti: Statistics Minister on the Government scrapping the census for an annual survey
Manage episode 489408405 series 2882353
The Statistics Minister says his agency is well up to transforming how the Census is done in New Zealand, despite previous short-comings.
The five-yearly census is being replaced by a smaller, annual survey - and using Government department data.
Stats NZ has faced past criticism over poor Census response rates
But Shane Reti says it's ready to turn that around.
"There's been some fall-overs with Stats NZ - and actually, part of our job is also to build trust and to build quality with Stats NZ. I believe they'll be able to rebuild their reputation and deliver quality."
