For the first time ALL of the census will be retained. In the last few censuses we were given an option in question 60 whether we wanted our census to be held. Fortunately the 2016 will be retained, and the complete census will be made public in 99 years. This Census will be Australia’s first Census where more than two thirds of Australia’s population (more than 15 million people) are expected to complete the Census online in August 2016, for more information.
