Tonight is Census Night in Australia

Bill, mate - I stuck with the old paper form this time around! Nailed it in ten minutes flat! If they want it, they can come & get it. Why should I be bothered? I'm not giving up my valuable online earning time just to fill in our government & businesses, etc on where I'm at these days! My only expenditure on their form is the ink in my pen (which isn't even mine!). I made a great raw salad that I ate while doing it & even shared some of it with the collector (yes, I spilled a bit!). I thought I'd buck the trend with this one for you to liven things up a bit here!

Our last census ,namely sixth census,was in November 2010.we do it once every 10 years.So far,we have not done it online.

I did mine online Sunday night. I did find it a lot easier than doing it on paper. And I did not had the problem of it not remembering my address. All I had to do was to tick the box (same as page one).

I finished the census online earlier...I also completed it online which is a bonus because it means I won't have a collector knocking on my door wanting the completed form....I was lucky & the form only took me about 10 mins to complete as it remembered the address which was great. I hate doing the census! Last time we had one, I had just found out I was pregnant with my daughter.

Sounds like such fun, lol.I don't know how often they come up w/the census here but there's not much to it.

Funny story about the cencus or the completion of the cencus at my house. If you were still living with your parents wouldn't it be expected that they would fill the cencus form. WRONG!!! Well my parents didnt really want to fill it but with other types of paperwork I thought that they would do it eventually, so i waited to the last day. I had uni that day so before leaving the house, I asked them to, "remember to fill the cencus form", and I left for uni. Well the uni day was over and I left for home. When I arived home which was about 8-ish, the close to-first thing I asked was did you fill in the cencus form. My whole family said to me very blatently while watching t.v that, "you dont have to fill in the form, its not compulsory". I thought to myself oh well and started heading towards my room. And all of a sudden I hear a my parents panicking. I ran towards them wondering why they became so panicky all of a sudden. Then I saw something on the t.v saying that you will be fine a minimum of $150 if your form is not filled out. And I dont think anyone wants to be fined. Everyone was screaming at each other, "WHERES THE FORM WHERES THE FORM". I told them dont worry we can do it online and then everyone calmed down. I turned on the computer and realised that my data limit was reached and nothing was opening properly. Instinctively everybody started panicking again, tearing down the house looking for the form, myself included, still tired from a 10 hr day at uni (adrenaline?). It took us around 40 mins to find it and then even after all that they were still unwilling to fill out he form and made me do it. So that was my cencus night.
