Census officials aim for most inclusive survey to date (RNZ)

Stats NZ says over two million people had participated in this year's census as of 9.30pm yesterday.

She said she read on New Zealand Chinese media that it was against the law to not complete the census - but she was not sure if that information was accurate as the census was not mandatory in China. I'm very confused of what I should do." "I very much do think it's important, like it gives us an insight on the general social structure of our society ... Yuki, who has been in New Zealand for six months on a work visa, said said also was not aware of the requirement. Her friend Rana, who lives in a rental property, said she had not received any letters and also had not filled in the form.

At least 40,000 fans were expected at the performance in Mt Smart Stadium tonight - and in between songs, Styles touched on being obligated to fill out a Census form.

Samantha Motion: The big question the 2023 New Zealand Census ... (New Zealand Herald)

Kiwis may be losing their religion but need reasons to keep the faith in big public data.

In 1976, New Zealand was reportedly the first country to ask a question about smoking in its census. It’s not just about whether it has more people and houses, but how its housing stock is used, how much of it is mouldy and how big the households are. Nearly a half-century on, it can tell us about the country’s last cohort of smokers who will be able to nip to the dairy for a pack of darts, as future generations face a ban on cigarette sales. For areas such as the Bay of Plenty, the data will help tell a story of growth - a story we need to be told to help secure Government investment at the level we need. If past census trends continue, data about faith will be less a question of whether Kiwis are still losing their religion and more of whether it’s a trickle or a flood. Hopefully, this means the data collected in this five-yearly compulsory headcount will be high quality and it will not again take a year and a half to share the results.

Ten thoughts about last night's Harry Styles concert (The Spinoff)

Bananas, banter and feather boas – all the important moments from Harry Styles' Auckland concert.

And why was someone dressed as a prawn? ‘Medicine’ is simply just vibes all round and was the perfect encore moment. But he’ll bring it out unprompted at the occasional live show as a rare surprise for the setlist. In leading the crowd several times with a rousing rendition of ‘Tūtira Mai Ngā Iwi’, but was by no means prepared for 40,000 people to sing the ENTIRE song back to him. But if I had to pinpoint one issue with the whole performance, it was that more could have been made of the stadium space. Whether it was repeating the purposefully strange welcome message “to Auckland and the surrounding regions” or grilling an audience member about claiming to have sold a cat’s leg to secure a ticket, I left the concert feeling like I had also just seen a pretty decent stand-up show. It didn’t seem to matter, and to see swathes of bedazzled teens croon to Crowded House truly made tears pool in mine own crow’s feet. It wasn’t the first time he’s sung about fruity fans at a concert before, but this was definitely not a regular – or planned – moment. / AC One thing is for sure: I saw a cluster of feathers artfully stuck to a big heart-shaped patch of vomit on the way out and now you have to as well xoxo. The stadium shook, the echo was violent, Harry blocked his ears as 40,000 people chanted in agreement – leave America, Harry Styles (and please don’t take another five years to come back to New Zealand). “I’ve been told that if anyone hasn’t done it, then we’re gonna have to stop the show, fill out the paperwork, and then we’ll be able to continue.” He then confirmed-ish that he had already done his: “I’ve done it…
