This podcast comes to you from my new desk. Exciting, I know (well it should be, because now I’ll stop talking about it!). Today I begin by talking about a few stories from the New Zealand news before moving on to my main topic: Statistics New Zealand has examined “some common beliefs about population in New Zealand to see whether they hold any truth.” I think their mythbusting is interesting, so I share some of that today.
