Too many Pom's not enough Seppo's
Thought there would have been more Irish than Jocks.
Just happy to be here
those figures are complete rubbish. Just looking around reveals far more from a certain country than those figures suggest

Can't argue with the census results. I think everyone who worked on it did a fantastic job
coz Stone Cold says so
If you look at ancestry then you'll find:
English - 848,227
Irish - 187,039
Scottish - 186,480
NZ - 27,618
Maori - 23,053
Shows slightly more Irish than Jocks...
Undercount data from last census suggests that kiwis are far less likely to fill out their census forms than any other group.

There are more yanks that are immigrating at the moment, or at least have in the last year than I have ever known around my industry.
Depends where you sit/work some industries and professions are predisposed to certain origins. There are a lot of Kiwis around the construction industry whilst a lot of Saffas around the engineering mining areas.
Generally speaking you aren’t learning much if your lips are moving!!!
last two jobs (different industries) have been completely inundated by one particular country of birth. Just saying the figures don't seem to add up to my empirical analysis.

Now what does that say about the difference between those two nations?!?!?!
