@WinningV1 @HoneyBeeGeek We’ve only got up to 2021 published, but here’s beef and dairy

@FigureNZ @HoneyBeeGeek Yes - I have the dairy to the 21/22 season but not all livestock. According to MFE sheep and dairy are down

Looking for dat for an upcoming keynote and I went down a rabbit hole. Which 2 regions in NZ saw the greatest growth in Dairy Cattle numbers over last 20 years? (source: @FigureNZ)

@HoneyBeeGeek @WinningV1 Do you mean total for beef and dairy nationwide?

Census day is here! Get your forms done and remind your friends and whānau too. Don’t forget: if you’re not counted, you’re missing out on funding 🙋🏿‍♀️🙋🏽🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏻🙋🏾‍♀️👩🏾‍🦽👩🏽‍🦼👨🏿‍🦯👩🏽‍🦯👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩🧑🏻‍❤️‍💋‍🧑🏻🧓🏾👴🏻🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🤑

@2023Census @Census2023 We just deeply care about good census data everywhere 😅 We wish you all a very happy census day 🫡

@FigureNZ @Census2023 We hope our peers at Nigeria's National Population Commission will appreciate the support as much as we do.

1 week until @2023Census! Time to check that your house, and your friends and whānau have their online codes or paper forms census.govt.nz Census has a huge role in shaping the future of Aotearoa so we have to make it count. A 🧵on why census is cool and important ⬇️

Correction: the last couple of tweets should have @2023Census tagged, not @census2023 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Census2023 is also vitally important to our disability community. You’ll be asked whether you have a disability, long-term condition, or mental health condition that limits your life. This determines who’ll participate in the 2023 Disability Survey stats.govt.nz/consultations/…

@edufk Oh darn it, thank you!!

Because of that, people in the communities most impacted by recent weather events will have more time and support to take part in the 2023 Census. You can read some more details about that here: census.govt.nz/2023-census-ne…

Stand up and be counted so we can build a future for Aotearoa that meets everyone's needs. Next Tuesday, do the @2023census. Encourage your friends and your whānau and your colleagues and your mates at the sports club to do it too! For more info: census.govt.nz
