Oh dear what a farce this time around. They (Australian Bureau of Stats) decided to go all techo this time, what they didnt realise is not everyone is computer savvy or want to be.
The first boo boo they made was to end out a letter addressed to the house holder but they hadn't advised people that was what they were doing and a good half of the letters were put into the bin.
People could request a paper copy if they didnt want to it on line
Apparently it was pretty straight forward, Warren did it on the computer in about twenty minutes and sent it off. He must have done it at the right time as an hour later the site crashed and of course a lot of people jumped on the band wagon and talking about the information being hacked. It was just an over load.
Census night was the 9th of August and ads are still being run on TV and doing it late with no fines and households have until 18 September to finalize it. I just wonder how relevant the info will be if there is over a month for the information to be sent in.
A program on TV that we watch and it is mainly about advertising and both the gurus were saying that the info that the ABS want from the cenus is available through the phone book/records or the taxation office so really these days there is no reason to have a cenus.
