Welcome and introductions

Hello and welcome! I am Sue Riddle the Project Manager for this consultation. I have dreamed since the last census of having an open and inclusive discussion about census content. It is fantastic to see this dream becoming a reality.
Our team will be working away in the background to make sure the experience is as good as possible for you. Ngā mihi, Sue

Frank - Sue. Just signing up. Look forward to taking part.

Hello Sue, good to see this up and running. I look forward to seeing how it all goes.

Hi @frankswinney and @aaronnorgrove thanks for joining the conversation! Would be great to hear where you're from and why you're interested in this forum

Hi. I worked on the Future Census project with Sue and others several years ago when this forum was first mooted, when I worked for Stats NZ. Now living in Auckland, self-employed as a data consultant. Working right now on a project preparing a ROI for a council on the UFB and RBI funds.

Hi. Retired in Masterton from Otago/Southland. Belong to another active Loomio group so interested to see how this might work out.
Welcome the opportunity to have some input into the Stats form. Lots of 'surveys' about these days and often feel frustrated that some questions just don't quite fit my circumstance.

@aaronnorgrove and @frankswinney thanks for the introductions and welcome to the 2018 Census group! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on census content.

Hi Aaron – welcome and great to see you joining this conversation.

Hello, great to see Stats NZ trying new ways to engage with the public. Hopefully people remain respectful. Lots of important issues to get stuck into :) I'm in Wgtn and work in the disability sector.

Looking forward to interacting with others and having good discussions
