Based on that census, all of the funding and infrastructure should be geared towards internet communications technology and hardware. :D

It's funny. A family member of mine is an IT genius and has holds very important head of IT jobs in massive organisations.

He has access to limited information regarding what has been hacked around the globe at any time....

Guess which hacking incident isn't there and never took place?

I foresee increased breadlines, waistlines, crossed wires and milk riots. I'm worried about the future application of daylight savings also. Our government is simply going to dissolve like a hot frog in a blender.


Let's not go over the top.
It's not like we're going to see issues of Biblical proportions, like you're suggesting - stuff like plague, rivers and seas boiling, cats and dogs living together.

But a lot of the funding and infrastructure provided by government is based around the census.

Well thank god for that. I was quite concerned that cats and dogs would begin living with one another once the information vacuum left by census 2016 is realised!

GOLD. I'm only disappointed that there was no way to inscribe a penis on the online form.

Had them door knock me and ask if I had completed it. I said yes, paper copy and mailed the next day. She said they have not received it and I told them that's between you and Australia Post. Have a good day. and shut the door.
Seriously how much is this bloody Census costing taxpayers when they need to door knock now?
