I tried them out: * 2006: http://www.tomw.net.au/technology/it/ecensus/ * 2011: http://blog.tomw.net.au/2011/08/australian-ecensus-2011.html The topic was discussed on Link: * 2006: http://mailman.anu.edu.au/pipermail/link/2006-August/068116.html * 2011: http://mailman.anu.edu.au/pipermail/link/2011-August/094682.html > What are the risks?
