I'm gonna say it: @Stats_NZ, as a web developer, Census 2023 was FLAWLESS. I can confidently say I've not taken a survey so well polished & easy to use, while being so respectful of ppl's identities. A golden star of UX. Teach your learnings to rest of NZ Govt! #Census2023

Census done #Online ✅ Quite quick to do and straightforward this year #Census2023 and important for #Aotearoa #NewZealand

@adriftinaotearoa @looneybyron I'm sure Stats NZ will do a review of what worked and what needs improving. Letting them know about issues could help improve responsiveness for next time. There are social media accounts for 2023 Census #Census2023 if you don't want to email them or fill in another online form.

@looneybyron @adriftinaotearoa Even if you send them a message, if the #Census #Census2023 form has been saved, Stats NZ can't undo it.

@adriftinaotearoa that inflexibility is one of the reasons why I'll do the paper #Census2023 form. I did that last time after the Chief Statistician advised that people who didn't want to tick M or F boxes should use paper and tick both M and F. I've since been told by former Stats NZ staff that the double ticks were ignored and gender either imputed on the basis of other information, or set aside and ignored. Even Stats NZ own researchers weren't allowed to refer to the double ticked forms!!

OMG it's a drop down now #census2023

• So get completing!! Go to census.govt.nz or call 0800 236 787 if you don’t have everything you need.
• And no, Stats NZ didn’t pay me to say this (I just personally care very deeply about this mahi)
