Yes, very annoyed that motorbikes and scooters did not count. I don't understand that. Seeing as I have both?!?

Ridiculous that motorcycles are excluded. They did this during the last census and lots of letters were written to ABS and pollies but once again they've ignored us.

The first question is a beauty, whats your address. Well doesn't the ID number at the top of the form tell them what address the form came from.
If they want to know how much we earn and how much our mortgage is they can ask the ATO.

Not a damn thing about how big your shed is, OR what the last project was, OR do you buy or brew your piss, OR if you can walk through your shed normally or do you have to go in sideways. How do these people think they can tell anything about the population with out asking about a man's grinder assortment?

I found it a bit weird that the question was if my 8 and 5 year old daughter were:
a) never married
b) divorced
c) defacto
d) married

Same thing, when you stated yes, they are the children of xx and yy, and you have filled in all info about xx and yy, why do they ask where the kids parents (which are xx and yy as stated in previous question) were born......

Some have not been following the news it seems , putting down Jedi or Jedi Knight even Romulan , Druid , or the smoking Rastafarian as religion automatically gets classed as atheist and no individual results will be available as they were from the last census 5 years ago when there were 75,000 claims to be ' Jedi '. May the force be with you ,

Another item I noticed regarding education.
It is either public, Catholic or Other without any specification.

Hmmm, I found that weird as well.
If you answered or don't answer a question it automatically moved you to the next relevant question, but when you fill out your kids birth date it automatically put how old they were then asked if they were
a) never married
b) divorced
c) defacto
d) married
Yeah the 13, 11 & 9 year old's are going through a terrible divorced, but that's alright two of them have found themselves in a steady defacto relationship.

And when filling it out online,
Question,
Does this household have internet connection?
WTF?

Anyway it's done now
