I really cant see why so many have issues with this Census stuff.

I have put my name and other information on plenty of other government forms, one more wont really matter.
This will be the ONLY database that has EVERYONE in it.
All the other databases only have subsets of the population
and only limited data. This links everything together ( which is their stated intention ).
If you want to waste some time reading about whats going on in Oz and elsewhere re data security/hacking/snooping, a good start is "The Register",
I like the recent article on the ABS using twitter posts to "help" people.

Data is getting stolen and misused all the time.
Why make it easier
