        @BernardKeane E.g., maybe I think my postcode needs more schools. Maybe I have twelve children. Who knows?

        @BernardKeane @Colvinius this amounts to retaining names/add's for 4 yrs rather than 18 months as usual. Significant benefits too

        @BenPhillips_ANU Good to see someone putting the other case. This anti-census movement fills me with dismay.

        @leoniedoyle there are always risks but they shld be balanced against benefits. ABS is a very cautious organisation!

        @BernardKeane I’m wondering whether to not answer at all, or whether to craft fake answers to favourably influence policy decisions.
