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.

yes I think greenpeace have certainly become soft since the 70's & 80's lmao

Well good on you, now you mark is not counted as valid, and other ethnic groups who select properly will be counted. So when you have an unwanted place of worship given a grant to build in your area, don't complain. Even if you were only christened as a child and don't go to church or even believe, you should have selected christian. This would have given an indication of how many christians live in Australia versus other beliefs.

but this is wear the census falls down Tim........ yes i was Christened but I do not class my self as a christian as i do not follow the faith or any faith for that matter and there are many many people like me, why should we tick the christian box just because we christened................. now does that mean our suburb is going to get any less money because of my faith or lack of it................ it would be bloody rediculous if thats the way it works.......... There were way too many questions on there that were pointless

just my thoughts

I agree, but, I would people revert back to their christian roots to show the minority groups that the Major population is christian based. As I am careful not to offend any one or push boundaries any more I will now leave this alone as I am only going to say something that will get me in trouble.

I by no means am saying what you think is wrong, I wanted to put up a thread of sugggestion before the census night, but knew I couldn't, although it on FB page. But couldn't link that here either.

But on telly, they did say if you aren't picking a religion, then leave it blank, as it will be counted as a no vote anyway.
So I figured if I'm gonna make a selection, it might as well count.

Anyways that's enough from me on this.

I totally understand where your coming from mate and agree with what you're saying........ but like I said previously, there were alot of questions on there I felt were pointless and irrelevant, so I just put N/A against them.

The whole point of it is so the government can track where you are, what u do, for other reasons like tax fraud, immigration, spying on your every move....

Agreed with almost everyone here and elsewhere, how are some of / most of the questions related to funding???

Apart from infrastructure.... Please...... Enlighten me!


Might get the old trusty flame suite out just in case

I even asked the census people why certain questions were being asked........ I never got a decent answer
