Statistics New Zealand has announced that no new topics will be introduced into New Zealand's next Census in 2011, so the possibility of gaining more quantitative information on the country's LGBT communities a slim one.

There are also no plans to count numbers of transgender or intersex New Zealanders - with the options for gender identity shown as just 'Male' or 'Female'.
