T-minus 6 – To be (at home) or not to be…
Can’t believe how much of a hassle this census is proving to be… no one (and this includes two phone calls to the official census inquiry service) can give me a definitive answer on how we’re supposed to be filling in the census form, given that we’ll be in the middle of woop woop*, probably without internet access and most likely not in a caravan park, where we would normally be counted.
Some of the responses I’ve had:
- Fill in the eCensus now and submit it as though you will be at home on 9-August;
- Don’t submit the eCensus before 9-August, it’s against the rules (this is my personal favourite!)
- You can’t submit the eCensus before 9-August, the system won’t let you (in fact it DOES let you submit before 9-August);
- Collect a “census traveller pack” at one of the remote locations around the country (none of these locations are as remote as we’ll be on 9-August!!);
- Fill in the form and post it back (we don’t have the necessary special envelope to do this).
- Do the eCensus AFTER the 9-August, and complete it as though it were 9-August (this is feasible, but I want to enjoy my holiday, not have to worry about filling in government forms).
Ah, what a hassle… for the record we have filled in the eCensus and submitted it as if we were at home on 9-August. I guess the national results will be forever skewed a little as a result… meh.
* woop woop – non existing place used to describe somewhere very remote.
