This week has been momentous for one particular reason. Tuesday the 9th August 2016 was supposed to be the day the Australian government had its census but due to technical problems it was still having it by Friday the 12th. The computer system of the statistics department went down which in turn negated the main point of the exercise which was to see a fair representation of Australian life over a period of a few hours. Instead the data will have to be analysed more broadly but either way it doesn't really matter because the main use of that data won't be recognized for some time yet. That use will be critical for determaining who owns what property after the rams horn is blown 3 times.
