Cos in 99 years time, when the ABC are doing a series of Who Do You Think You Are, your celebrity great grandchildren need to know!

Yeah, so if they're really interested, then they can dig for it and compile it themselves...

I haven't seen this much collective paranoia since my last visit to Amsterdam.

Google and Murdoch probably have far more info.

Only agregated data will leave the servers processing the info. No user data hits a PC or laptop.

Er, thanks.

I don't see the need for the level of personal info they are asking for on this census. And does no one find it irritating that you apparently don't have the choice to refuse to answer questions, don't have the right to give false information...like this is the Spanish Inquisition?

Feel free post the Python sketch...

I think this is what grates so much with me. That I have no choice. I'm not under arrest. This is a free country. Unless I have been accused of a crime why do I have to account for my whereabouts to the government. They are not accountable to us. If they wanted all that info but not my name I'd be ok with it.

As for it not being on any computer linked to the net... I'm connected to the net when I'm putting it all in so it must be all going onto a computer connected to the net.

I thought you were all being a bit silly until I got my form today. It is definitely more intrusive than 5 years ago. I am not sure they need to know how much my mortgage payments are!

Maybe they're going to offer to pay them for you.
