Census 2021

[Dales Cannon]

Just completed this. Far less onerous than the last one. Seemed to be skewed to full time or permanent employment. Based on complaints I had heard really very little information. Other thoughts?

 

[fjohn860]

Yes far less onerous.

But still...

Little Things You Hate

Not sure if you are serious or not but it's like a gunslingers pistol butt, it's the amount of city dwellers I have put in a hole since covid, bloody violators You need to up those numbers...

Yes, very little info asked. With ol' COVID at the moment maybe they have skewed it to avoid certain stats.

I did mine a week ago on the net. Cant remember that many questions, it the 10th and all 4 people are accounted for, at home, as predicted.

I didn't find it too bad. Did mine on the weekend. Told it I rode to work today, but feeling a tad flat I actually druv in. But I mostly ride, so went for the usual means.

SFA questions, would appear all this has achieved is validating the commonwealths master database.

Wifey loves this shit thankfully. Pretty painless online…at least she’s not bothered me too much about it.

Strong agree, this will pretty much only cover "how far do people travel to work?" and "what's the average income of X suburb?".

The move to (predominantly) online only is understandable in the current COVID-riddled times, but seems to exaggerate the divide between the haves and have nots even more than traditional paper-based version.

I always wonder if anyone goes to the homeless shelters and camps on census night, or houses that don't respond after the night to capture the responses of those who can't read English, etc...

Essentially, yes. I know my organizing is doing their best to account for those who can’t/wouldn’t do it themselves. There will always be gaps of course.

Oh no Sir, we just fine them. It's much more streamline that way.

Cross matched to the robodebt database?

Good stuff. I've never been there gladly, but can't help but wonder how many underprivileged/homeless folk get missed with things like this. All too easy for the Gov to say they're providing adequate funding/services (lol, with a Liberal Government - yeah right! ) when they don't bother to count who's out there.

Absolutely, we have some of our most ruthless A.I.s dedicated to this task. Now if you'd like to take a seat we'll walk you through some of the more clandestine ways we are alienating our citizens.

Where was i born? Where was wife born? Is this the child of you and your wife? Where were their parents born. Is this a trick question?

Pretty sure i can count about 5 or so older folks who would have zero chance of completing a census online.

 

[pink poodle]

Well this was the first time I have taken part in the census as an adult.

Had it easy setting up the online form...then went to make dinner. Meanwhile, the Lad filled it all in for M'lady and myself...then submitted it without asking either of us to check it. No idea how truthful any of it actually was...
