[two blue tiger]

As expected, does not load. Back to the old paper form we go.......

 

[Gough]

You've got until sometime in September to do it, treat it like a uni assignment, and last minute it's arse.

 

[Keys]

Did mine yesterday

Fully expected the system wouldn't cope today

 

[Illinois Nazi]

Did mine a couple of hours ago, not a single hitch.

 

[BALKAN]

Site is down for me. Really wish I hadn't waited until tonight.

 

[raskolnikov]

Didn't see that coming at all.

 

[Lensen]

Imagine how dumb you'd have to be to attempt it in prime time

 

[Gasometer]

Old mate comes over.

Types like a ****ing Ostrich...but gets on whilst mine cant get on.

Answers his questions that should have taken anyone else 5 minutes (Pensioner=like 20 q's) in about 30 minutes.

Clicks 'submit'

Declined.

Packs up and goes home.

 

[Power Raid]

silly me, I assumed you couldn't do it at any other time than the evening of the 9th.

I'm not sure why they don't "sell" it as August rather than the 9th.

 

[Roobs321]

At the end of a long work day, all you need is to spend 20-30mins on it, submit, declined, unsaved data times out, servers down, call us in coming days. Ugh.

 

[scout]

They're onto it....give it a coupla days.

 

[BALKAN]

Imagine how dumb you'd have to be to attempt it in prime time

all they yap on about is how august 9th is census night, they should let you know you can do it pretty much anytime. with the added bonus for them that their site wouldn't crumble under the load.

If it weren't for bigfooty i'd have no idea that you can do it at anytime. And i still waited for tonight because i'm a lazy arse.

 

[RU_]

Don't have to do it until mid September anyway. All is fine.

 

[raskolnikov]

Because then some people would need September to do it.

 

[Gough]

It's almost as if nobody saw this coming.

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

Assuming it's ok to do it later in the week?

 

[Gough]

Australia is at it's collective best on nights like this, everyone gets the chase to gleefully sink the boot into whoever is governing at the time.

 

[BALKAN]

do we actually have until Sept to do it? then why the **** do they yap on like august 9th is the 'due date'

ffs this shit wouldnt happen in an islamic caliphate

 

[GWBogan]

I did mine last week lol.

they can't run a website or a survey and yet they want to collect our data so they can roll out services better.

god help you if you actually need to rely upon a government department for health, social welfare or education.

 

[new breed]

As long as the Buggers don't fine us if we give up !!

 

[Roobs321]

When I got home on Sunday evening after a weekend out I was enthused to get it done as well, went straight to the website, before finding that the login was issued via mail. Was already in my PJs then and not willing to trek to the letterbox, so left it. Alas.

 

[Perth gal]

Got on about 4pm. All good.
