There's a considerable, and perhaps burgeoning, collection of longitudinal
studies, and the ABS invokes the obligatoriness factor that they have arranged
to have in their legislation.
There's a considerable amount of information on some of them here:

These have caused a lot of grief to a lot of people.
I should add that I'm not aware of the selection of subjects departing from the
conventional 'random within targeted population' principles, and instead being
used for revenge.
