  1. @oysta reminds me of the long-running battles of the Wizard of Christchurch to avoid the census. He tried all kinds of things, like magically vanishing at midnight and rowing offshore in a small boat.

  2. THIS BANNER ON EVERY FRICKING PAGE WAS HILARIOUS #census2026

  3. They’re asking some seriously intrusive questions here about health, gender and employers #census2026

  4. Wait and dates of birth. Am I going mad or was it normal for them demand this level of PII? #census2026

  5. Haha fuckenell #census2026 doesn’t include an option for “people away at Uni” in the question about people who normally live with you

  6. @winterknell Had the same issue in Firefox and had to enter our address manually. Thanks for tooting, I didn't even consider the possibility of it being a browser issue. Just blamed the ABS 😂 #Census2026 #Firefox

  7. Just checked and there is no option for Rust, you’ll have to write that in #census2026

  8. Where was I on the night of August 11 2021??? Why I was probably on Twitter waiting for the TikTok Guy to leak the latest NSW Health covid numbers of course

    Why is there no prize for getting all the correct answers?

  10. Census completed, two days early.

    Tried to complete it in Firefox and it choked every time a few characters in when I was attempting to enter our address. I had to switch to Chrome to get the address selection to work. I could possibly have entered the address manually, but ours has an unusual canonical form that could introduce variables I'd rather not deal with.

  11. I'd forgotten that I wrote Harry Potter and the Australian Bureau of Statistics some ten years ago, but since I'm getting AO3 kudos I'm guessing it's #census time again.

  12. I remember in a recent census that there was a big public outcry about changes to privacy and linking records that people were concerned about; ultimately there was a call to just not complete the census, which is what I did. Now it seems like all those concerns have been memory-holed, but I haven't heard anything about the privacy issues actually being addressed. What's the go with the census this time? Have we all just given up worrying?

  13. From the "Census — Not Religious? Mark 'No Religion'" campaign:

    The Australian Bureau of Statistics has itself acknowledged that the #religion question used in the Census “may lead respondents to a particular response”.
    But you don’t have to be tricked by the leading nature of the question. Mark ‘No religion’ if you’re not religious.
