AUS/POL/ CENSUS PRIVACY ED

You guy do realise that when they do the census next Tues you'll be pretty much giving every piece of info up about yourself to a govt. dept.

>tfw when you're old enough to remember the ID card thing in the 80's and is just a digital ver. of ID card 2.0

>tfw they can charge you $180 dollaryoos PER DAY for a late return & $1800 for giving incorrect responses...

>tfw they'll have your
-name, address, tel. no., who you live with, general earnings, where you work and were educated, living arrangements and cultural background

I was going to opine that Sup Forums ignoring this just reasserts the perception that you're all just a circlejerk of alt-right, virginal, basement-dwelling disenfranchised neckbeards; then I figured that you all probably pout more info about yourself on your collective social media accounts [& here for eg.] than you would ever put on a census paper...

>inb4 "Noice blog post m8!"

For those interested, order and fill out a paper form on Tues night.

Who here /paperform/?

doesn't matter too much imo, they already have most of that info in some form, you already have a birth certificate and academic record, all the other info is temporal, they can dig up your bank accounts or isp info if they really want to, and I would be surprised if they don't already do this

for temporal stuff, you might move the following week or switch jobs

is it really that much more secure to do the paper form?
sure, there won't be any potential eavesdroppers, but it's not like you're sending it through plain text over the internet
it will end up in a database at some point, and from there on, you can't really guarantee its future safety

they'll probably use the records for selecting people for the draft when WW3 happens, or round up all the kebabs

Thinking of it mate. Won't any details that you submit be digitised though?

Don't forget to mark "Jedi" as your religion.

>Implying every country doesn't have a census
>implying it doesn't take the 12 chimpanzees in your statistics agency a decade to compile the data anyway

you'll be fine

why would it take a decade?
it's not tabulated manually by hand
we have computers now

People still do this?

>bonus: you don't have to put your name on the paper form and...
>no ip address etc

But being able to link that data - now there's the rub...

Moar liek Judaism.
