Reg are you for real, the agencies of the Govt. do not link up their info on us and I for one want the Bureau of Statistics only having access to the info I give them, we have been having these things for over 100ytrsa s do most modern countires but we still have neanderthol thinking in how to gather info, I give up!

With all the information held by various gov departments, why is a census even necessary?
How many billions did it cost?
There was not one question that could not be found at the ATO, DHS or Medibank.
Guessing it's a case of not wanting to errode some public servants little empire.
When are we going to become the smart country instead of the lucky country?
