"Let's make sure we take part and complete the census.
Your information is safe, and in the end, that information will be for our benefit. For our children, for our future.
Kia kaha everyone. What I'm saying is let's stand and be counted as Māori. Kia ora."
Moe Milne Moe Milne
"Tēna tātou. We need everybody to be counted in Aotearoa. We need Māori to be counted in Aotearoa. We need Māori men to be counted in Aotearoa.
Therefore, get to the census. Fill your forms in, and return your forms, so that we can receive the appropriate amount of resources from the Crown.
Fill in your census, don't be late, don't be lazy!"
Annette Wehi
"This year is census day. It's really important for all of us to participate, to give all of our information, our data, and our statistics because they're going to help us as Māori to achieve all of our dreams. Te reo rangatira, our culture, ngā mahi a Reehia, te haka a Tāne Rore. Come on whānau, get in there. Our women and our men, especially our men. Kia kaha tātou."
Barbara Edmonds
"Talofa lava. The census is open now. Do it for your family. Get us the information we need to make it count for our families, for our homes, for our community. Make it count. Especially you, my brothers - I'm looking at you."
Magele Maria Uluilelata
"I greet you all in good health. Greetings to you all. This year is an important year. It is Census 2023. There is nothing worse than a community story being told by other people. So I'm asking Pacific men, our Pacific men, to step up and lead the charge. The power of the data is important to our communities, so let's make sure that we are counted. Thank you very much."
