There's no doubt that the statistics legislation that we have does need updating. I'm not a fan of repealing and replacing just because it is of a certain age. But the case for making changes to our statistics legislation is pretty easy to make. If you look back to 1975 we had no internet, no email, and no cellphones. We were living a fairly homogenous existence in nuclear families, and we probably didn't put any energy to the views of tangata whenua over the collection and storage of information. So we've come a long way since then, and to some degree this bill is actually giving legislative effect to current practice.
