Sorry Rally, but that is
not what the articles says.!
That part of the article (quoted below) is referring to the
last question on the census which asks for permission for your name (already provided in Q2) to be kept by the National Archives of Australia, and then made publicly available after 99 years. (which is perfectly OK for respondents to decline)

When given the option of having their names and forms retained and stored in the archives for release a century later instead of being destroyed after processing, 39 per cent of Australians had said no.

I responded with my name in Question 2, BUT declined this last question about including it in the archive.
I could not see any reference or comment in your article, on how many refused to provide their names (or falsified them) in Question 2.
(which is technically an offence)
NONETHELESS:
I would have to agree the whole thing was a shamozzle!
