StatsNZ has announced an independent inquiry into
allegations about illegal use of census data at Manuwera Marae:
Stats NZ has asked an independent external party to investigate allegations of misuse of census data collected for the 2023 Census.
Last year Stats NZ partnered with Whānau Ora Commissioning Agency to lift low response rates from Māori in Auckland. The collection operations with non-responding and partial-responding Māori households were led by Te Pae Herenga o Tāmaki. As part of this, Whānau Ora worked with Manurewa Marae.
