The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Mondays

It's a game of wait and see for the Census target. Today's the final day for people to complete the compulsory survey for all New Zealanders. About 89 percent have filled it out so far. Statistics Minister Deborah Russell told Mike Hosking she doesn't know yet if it will reach their target of getting 90 percent of people to complete it. She says there's a whole lot of information to come in yet so she's leaving that determination to the professionals. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
