Do what the majority of Poms do on their census forms:
To the question: "How did you travel to work today?"
They answer: " On an egg"
You mean one of these, L'oeuf, circa 1943. Not many of them about nowOriginally Posted by Pixie

Sound familiar?
I have thanked them for their form letter and asked them to clarify that response.
They have replied: "Your reply has been forwarded to Stats NZ head office"
A census in which the population count will exceed 100% seems to have little value.
I think this time I'm going to put down Maori. I saw some great beach front land down the East cape and I'm feeling very Ngati Porou.
Speed doesn't kill people.
Stupidity kills people.

Interesting isn't it.Originally Posted by Slim
Isn't the final use of the data to understand who we are enabling:
Policy formulation
Appropriate allocation of resources
etc...?
So in not knowing how many full time m/c there are (and part time too for that matter) how the hell are they ever going to know how to deal with issues like
1) Congestion relief - allowing m/c to use bus lanes
2) Filtering and splitting issues?
3) Impact of installing cheese grater (aka cheap but ok for cars) barriers
etc.
Yeah - I'm passionate about this one too. It's a personl thing. They say they are interested in me, they want to help me... then they specifically ignore me.
WTF?

And here's something else weird.....I looked at my individual census form and question 41 which asks what was the one main way you travelled to work......clearly has motorbike as an option..yet the dwelling one states DON'T count motorbikes!!!!!
makes one wonder what the Stats people actually want to know.......![]()
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead
Do not walk ahead as I may not follow.
Do not walk beside me as the path is narrow
In fact FU*K off and leave me alone
Just called Stats NZ and spoke with someone there in the user needs team (sounds scary..special needs?). She advised that motorcycles have never been included in the stats and that no motorcycle group or groups made representations or submissions to be included when Stats NZ called for them last year.
So it seems if we want to be included in the census, we need to put submissions in as a group..(BRONZ, Ulysses, HOG, KB etc) when Stats call for them before the next census.
Just thought the forum readers would like to know why......not some anti motorcycle stance by Stats and Andy Knacerwacker at LTSA but maybe our own inaction? Just my thoughts anyway

Well Im still waiting for them to come back and pick up the last census form from me...
They picked it up ... then sent it back to me, telling me to fill in 22 answers...
which I had already done :whistle.. and they said they would come back in 5 days.... Now I was home the whole time waiting............... and waiting......
Well after 3 years of waiting I file'd it under "R" for you know what.
So therefore the stats are NOT correct, since they dont have mine.
Wonder what will happen this year with mine... will they accept it or not.....
probably not...
I wasnt going to spend money on a envelope and stamp to send it back to them... they didnt supply me with one when they sent it back...They pay people to come and collect them.

Is it illegal to put "untruths"?
The world will look up and shout "Save Us!", and I'll whisper "no"
