In a recent interview, former New Zealand Conservative MP Marilyn Waring commented on the elimination of the census by stating, “I see this mirrored in so many conservative governments in the post-recession period. They want to rule according to ideology not according to evidence. So one of the most important things they can do is to obliterate evidence so they can operate on the basis of propaganda”.
I'd like to open the floor for you to respond to Ms. Waring's assertions.
