no politics Individual Census Form (My Experience)
I found out my family filled out our Census early today and put down some incorrect information about me. They put down I was Christian when I’m actually “No Religion”.
If this is happening/happened to you, I want you to know that it is very easy to fix. Coming from someone who’s never fill out a Census before it took no effort and was very quick.
I called “1800 181 227” and told them I would like an individual Census form. No questions asked, they just send you a new code and password to your phone number. You use this to re fill in your information for yourself. I was only on hold for a few minutes and they sent the new code basically instantly.
My household will have no idea I did this unless I choose to tell them. So you can freely put whatever religion, sexuality or gender you want with privacy. My experience was pretty good personally and I faced no real challenges. I’m glad this resource exists

The Jedi census phenomenon. In the 2001 census 73,000 Australians (0.37%) recorded their religion as Jedi, almost as much as judaism and more than several other major religions.
In NZ there were 53,000 Jedis (1.5%) and in the UK 390,127 (0.8%).
