Census

[Caran]

In the census that is due in a couple of months there is a new question. Not sure of exact wording but something like "What is your sexual preference" what will you answer, I may put not, yet decided, or MYOB

Do you have a link for that Dr.F?

Capita are well known for being bloody useless in almost every respect (according to Private Eye that is).

they will not get the homeless to fill the form in

[AB Editor]

Thanks Dr.F! Not much backing that up other than "They work for US defence, therefore they'll hand our data over"

Although I do take the point about the Census Act 1920 being abolished/repealed, and that Capita are a little less that efficient.

What does MYOB stand for? Mothers, Youths, and Ostrich Birds, perhaps?

If they put "What is your sexual preference" I will put "Nice of you to offer".
