I did mine on the weekend and it took a maximum of 10 minutes.
I just shake my head at all these privacy concerns when no one gives a shit about the metadata the Government keeps. Throw in people are struggling with what to do and we obviously have dumb the country down. It's time to remove all warning labels.
Now, the only question I found weird was naming you employer and providing their address. The Government has this. |

If Hackers wasted their time hacking in, they will be extremely disappointed in what's on offer.  |

Emailed them and asked for the code, apparently not everyone will get the code in time, they will come around later with a paper one. I don't want a paper one, I'd rather do it online, it's easier/quicker!

^ it's an old lady thing - I inherited it and as I have aged it has reared its ugly head
Complete with advice to pray to St Anthony - the patron Saint of " finding things put in a safe place" apparently

I must be an old lady because I pray to Saint Anthony a few times a week. And it works!

People paranoid about the census do my head in. The data is used for so many useful things. I see census data referenced regularly. It's really handy and always at a suburb sort of level.
For example you can use this data to find out that the median age of people in Collingwood (the suburb) is 32 years old and the median household is of just 2 people. 38% of people rent. The weekly family income is $1715.00 and 79% of people are are aged 15-65 (I don't really know how useful that is).
I dunno I find census data interesting to compare suburbs. Source:
