Additional feedback

Would you like to provide any feedback on the other proposed new topics for the 2026 Census? (Select all that apply)

You do not need to provide information that has already been included in a submission during phase one.
This is far, far, far too intrusive. The census should be shut down in its entirety. It has gone from being a simple head count to stripping us stark naked, squeezing every intimate detail out of us and creating a huge data profile on us.

Get back in your box, LISTEN to the Australian people, this is not ok. The census should be abolished, and NO, it should not be replaced with administrative data. It should just be shut down full stop.
