it is just a poll.
so they can plan, budget for and implement appropriate infrastructure where it is needed: schools, playgrounds, hospitals, churchs, day care, aged care, jobs, centrelink, police, public transport, government services.

Then all they need to "store" is my postcode, and they dont NEED to swap the low level info with other departments.
Also, a lot of the above listed "infrastructure" is now being cut back or sold off to private industry ( even tho the local need is growing ), so no extra Govt planning data is required, as its not being used?????
I already mentioned that they sold off the schools down here and now cant rebuild. Yesterday, people living in the new Darklands ( Docklands ) developments of Melb were complaining they still dont have ANY schools.
Some new "Mega" Police stations were built but arent fully staffed whilst local stations have been closed or arent staffed at all most days.
Day care and aged care are being set to privatise, and will build where they want, not where required.
Govt planning from this data will be controlled by how much money they have and who screams the most, not a logical plan from some census result.
