Iwi information in jeapordy after Census 2018 - Rahui Papa

Statistics NZ says it has plugged enough of the gaps in last year's census to be able to start releasing data from September, but some data - including iwi statistics - are too incomplete to be regarded as official statistics. One in seven people did not complete the census and the low response rate has already delayed the release twice. (making this the third delay). For many iwi, the Census is the only source of reliable socio-economic and demographic data about tribal members around the country. Rahui Papa is a spokesperson for the Data Iwi Leaders Group. He talks to Guyon Espiner.
