So choose randomly from the two on any and all questions unrelated to religion, and just leave the religion question blank

You should take a copy of the form, and then it 5 years time, pull it out and reminise over what you did.

Man 'freezes himself' to avoid census

Quote:
A census-objector claimed he was cryogenically frozen in a freezer and pronounced "legally dead" to avoid filling in yesterday's census.

This morning he woke up in his own bed in his house truck with a splitting headache and slight cold but otherwise none the worse for wear after the stunt in Hamilton's Garden Place.
It's probably for the best that the crazy fucker doesn't fill one out.



Quote:
"Somebody can show up on your doorstep, ask personal questions and if it was an ordinary person you could tell them to go to hell, which would be the sensible response," he said.

"Because it's somebody from the government you're compelled under threat of punishment to fill it in."
These people, on the other hand, are total and utter dicks. I HATE THE GOVERNMENT! THEY'RE ALWAYS TELLING ME WHAT TO DO! THEY'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME! Just fill out the fucking census form and do us all a favour, you farty little man.

I have the same attitude as him. But I do think the census is the good thing. So I don't mind filling out the form. If they didn't force you to fill it out, it would be 50/50 chance of me bothering to do it or not.

the chap who dropped ours off gave us the online 'password' form and said "if you all fill them in online I won't have to come back for the forms i'm going to give you in case the internet forms don't work"

I didn't fill mine out online - the other two did. he'll have to come back now.

Internet explorer didn't let us access the page "Your browser is not sufficient to access this page" . Firefox worked fine.

It's a perilously small step between the Government wanting to know how people get to work and anal probes with mind control devices, man...

If I get told to wear an anal probe with a mind-control device fitted, does that mean someone else will be able to tell me when to get an erection?

I didn't have enough information for my P.I.N I.D (Envelope I.D). I guess that's what I get for living where I live and expecting the mother fucker who delivered it to put the correct information on the front - cunt.

NOW I have to use a PEN, A PEN I TELLS YA.. to fill out a FORM ? WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS.. The '90s?

FTR - I did call 0800-CENSUS and requested they created a P.I.N and the guys response was "It's just easier to get you to fill it out" and I'm like "Well, I think it's easier for you guys to create a P.I.N" and then within moments(not seconds) I said "FINE!!!! I'll -find- a pen and fill it in for you, THANKS ROBERT!"

I'm in one of _those_ moods today~~

You show 'em Helious- tell them you're a short female Jamacian pastafarian. Who earns 9 billion dollars a year, your father was a midget german porn actor and your mother was a Liberian goat herder.

Thing is, the Gummint could already invade the mind of those Libertarianz members and scramble their brains from Waihopai.

As for anal probes... let's just say that the Govt. can already do what it wants by tampering with our water and that anal probes are considered a sadistic indulgence. I cannot reveal any more, but take my word for it that you should filter your water.

Post Results available

I couldn't find other mention of this - Stuff has some PDFs summarising the 2006 census results. From the "The Dominion Post" logos sitting on the bottom of the pages I'd guess that the same thing was printed in the paper at some point.
Although the files are hideously oversized due to being filled with images rather than data, and they are only 1 page each, and the second one appears to be corrupted

Or you can get mostly the same information without the pictures from the Statistics NZ site. [The PDF on that page doesn't seem to have the information on religion]

20,000 'Jedi'
6800 Jews

the 'are you a New Zealand citizen' question concerns people being a New Zealander

the ethnicity question concerns peoples distant ancestry (New Zealands colonial history is not distant)

having a New Zealander ethnic classification is merely a redundant way to pander those with a shortsighted sense of identity

identifying your distant ancestry dosn't make you less of a New Zealander

The 2023 census is technically tonight. Go and do it you (NZ) fuckers.

And we are all grown up now, so stop putting Jedi as your religion.

Look mate - they've just started charging for water use in ChCh unless you have a good reason to be over (or live in a flat??) you get stung with a bill.

If I want to identify as a merman to get it documented...
