The scrapped census: Can the Pacific Data Advisory Group save NZ’s data?

After the last census was scrapped, Stats NZ is now turning to Pacific experts to help rebuild trust and representation in the country’s data system.

Economist Filipo Katavake McGrath joined #Pacificmornings to share his thoughts.
