How can it be true that "Thames never shrank" if it's population today is a little over a half it was in 1868? What constitutes shrinking if a population reduction from 18k to 10k does not? --Tireoghain2 13:23, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I assume the post refers to the area of land the town occupies. But even then I don't believe the numbers are correct --Enzown 09:43, 5 December 2006

Claims of a larger population of 10,000 (if Tararu, Totara and Kopu included) were wrong. Tararu and Totara are already included in the NZ Stats Area Units of Moanataiari and Parawai (respectively). Kopu is not included as it is part of the large Hikuai Area Unit - which has a total population of 3252 as of the 2006 census.
