Census collectors

[Bagheera]

I know a census collector were i live Shes getting $2000 for 250 houses

Not to bad hey......... Hmmm if i convert that into something i understand that's a new set of mud tires LOL

I was a Census collector this year as well (~400 houses).

What the job entails:
Full police check
Full day of training on all the relevant legislation, delivery protocol, etc
Delivery of forms to ~400 hours @ average 20 houses per hour (and I was pretty quick for our area) mostly in the evenings and weekends so you can get people at home.
Half day of training for collection
Collect forms from ~150 houses (and 60%+ eCensus returns was pretty high, state average is more like 30-40%)
Revisit houses up to 5 times until the form is collected.

Through all of this you get abused about why I want their personal information - I don't want anything except to deliver a form and then collect it once completed, and get paid for my time.

FWIW none of the information collected is cross-referenced with the ATO, Centrelink, etc. Non-specific metrics are provided to councils, education department, health services, etc for planning purposes. There are significant differences in the data collected by Census vs the data collected by the ATO, Centrelink, Medicare, etc.

The $2000 she earned would be pre-tax.

I had green peace come to my door today, as with most people like that I am usually pretty polite to start off with. I actually hate people who turn up to my door that arn't mates with boxes of coldies lmao
This fella just started to go on and on and on about how they are making a differnce, (which some of the stuff I agree with) to the point I had to interrupt him and say look mate your wasting my time and your time now. Then the bugger tried getting into an argument with me about how hes not wasting his time. I'm annoyed, so I said to the fella, look you've got 10 seconds to leave my property, 10....9.....8....... he left lmao
I respect what these people are trying to do but for the love if god if I say I'm not interested, LEAVE!!!!!!!

Greenpeace are oxygen thieves. Sea Shepherd has achieved ten times as much in half the time because they put their balls on the line and actually DO something rather than just flag waving and hanging banners from buildings. Off topic I know but had to get that one off my chest.

No issues with that mate, you have a point tho, sea shepherd do put their arses on the line. I think green peace smoke a bit too much of the green stuff lol

Greenpeace do not have a good record in the Land of the Long White Cloud, I understand - French sinking Rainbow Warrior - or maybe they have a good record???? If I didn't have a kid, I could imagine living in New 2ealand (no offence meant, key next to X is on strike)
