Census Night - make sure you are counted
Submitted by Penny Sharpe on Tue, 08/08/2006 - 4:00pm.
This is a very daggy admission but I love census night. I love filling out the forms and describing where I am from, where I have lived, who my family is, what I do for a living and (being an avid public transport user) how I got to work this morning.
While I know that some people have privacy concerns about the census, as a politician and someone who has worked with government departments, local councils and community organisations I know that what people fill out tonight will form the basis of most planning at community, state and federal level for the next five years.
It is through the census data that we move beyond generalisations and get down to how our househoolds are actually living in our cities, suburbs and towns.
