Would the nation as a whole be any difference if the information is collected over 1 night or a period of say 7 days? Probably not. The truth is not everyone will do it tonight anyway. So why are they so anal about it? Why can't we be given a week to complete it instead of changing our plans or missing out?

She said “You don’t understand.” and she is right because I don’t.

It's mostly about where you sleep tonight. You can fill the form out yesterday, today, tomorrow, the end of the week (last week would be a bit iffy cause a certain number will die between filling in the for and census night) but for those who run multiple households if you did it over a week they would get counted more than once.

My biggest beef is question 41, where you worked last week.
For my SWMBO it was NZ. I know at least two others who were working overseas last week but are back home this week.

Bethy 16... Amish (god know why! she hates the country life so would have a bloody hard time of bein Amish!)
Jacinta 14... Morkite (ala Mork and Mindy nanoo nanoo... Im a morkite from way back have every show ever made and love it! Jac and I sit and watch it constantly amazing humor)
Brie 12... Princess (her argument? If they can have gedi an amish an morkite for their religion I can be a princess!)
Joshy 11... Chippy!... Yep the little bloke reckons I spend more time in the shed cuttin and muckin with wood that my religion is Chippy so thats what he wants to be... great eh! :cool:
Me... well first I said Muslim then I changed that to International spy then I changed that to madcaped lunatic... hey it fits! ;)

Actually we adhere to the method prescribed as it doesnt matter what religion we are and its none of their business anyway theory... stuff em!:p

Would have loved to get hold of a copy of the Dingo houshold census. :D :D A bit of entertaining light reading im sure:D :D

Stupid questions and I had to get my wife to translate every second word for me.

What the hell is a dwelling anyway?

That's the subtle built in literacy test ;)

My wife filled ours in. Her handwriting is better than mine :D
