Australian Politics Forum - Census 2021 - 10th August (or earlier)

Captain Nemo Gold Member Offline Australian Politics Posts: 10001 Melbourne Gender:	Census 2021 - 10th August (or earlier) Aug 3^rd, 2021 at 1:14pm Completed my Census form online, yesterday having received my login details via the snail mail. Very basic questions and did not take long to complete it. They are allowing it to be done ahead of the official day (10th August) ... good idea - that may mean the system does not bog down like last time.

You should ask the ABS for a second copy of the Census to fill out then. One for each personality.

Yes but. What happens if you report early, then change your religion, house burns down and you die from covid? Can you then change back to the old religion?

"Fill in 2 application forms, stating why you want to return to previous belief and what you don't believe in now. Is there a dead relative here who can explain what's going on".

There is basically nothing that they don't know already. They probably even have your colonoscopy pictures - if the truth be known.

We both had a bit of a laugh at that.

PhD she did. NSW government was upset that some people signed the covid shop lists as "Mickey Mouse. Spiderman" and so on. The Census probably has a donkey vote like elections.

No doubt the Ancestry site will be encouraging it, still. https://www.ancestry.com/
