How many motor vehicles in your garage, asks tonight's Census.

EXCLUDE MOTORCYCLES!!

So they don't deserve recognition in transport planning.

We still haven't got the form - Rang them on Friday and one in the mail.

Don't have a garage so have to say none.

Yep no form here either for half the town - The other half has got two copies each

And I told them in the feedback the same thing last census. They just don't listen. There is a greater proportion of bikes to cars now than 5 years ago. (Don't ask me for my source- go look it up yourself!)

Just had a similar message and failing to connect. Does his mean we can charge the government for not allowing us to complete the form. How can expect the entire nation to go one website on one night and complete this.

There's a lot of people would agree with you, me for one. It'd save a motza. Imagine all that paper the touts hand out at the election booths not being wasted. The printers would hate it!
But the results would be in a darn sight quicker.

Filled out the paper form a couple of weeks ago.... Guess I better go post it tomorrow... if the rain stops?

Tried for more than 3 hours last night from 8:20 pm, and again at 6:45 this morning, only to heat on ABC News 24 that the ABS took the website down at 7:30 pm.

They should have changed the front page as soon as. :oldman Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

My OCD was peaking badly. Thankfully we have until late September to compete it.

My cousin logged in, complete most, needed to check some questions, saved, came back and couldn't log in.

ABS are blaming hackers, but I suspect the Senior Public Service are using that as an excuse rather than admit they wasted $10 million+ with IBM and other IT companies.

I guess the ABS will be getting our taxpayers money back from the IT companies that told them that the Census Sytem can't be hacked, and could handle the load.

Apparently it was the Chinese brought it down out of spite for losing face at the Olympics by Horton's doping accusations.
Sounds about right.

The census definition of a motor vehicle includes motorbikes and trucks as well as cars, what a waste of an opportunity to easy gain a lot more useful information.
Just finished my census and I was surprised at how little information was collected.
