Abstract: 

Statistical agencies follow the UN Principles of Official Statistics, which set high standards of practice and ethics. The question is posed as to whether current practices meet these high standards, with some topical examples relating to Indigenous statistics and disability statistics. Some important messages for the teachers of statisticians are then drawn out, covering some practical and ethical issues for those who work, or will work, in statistical agencies.
