Although the ABS has now acknowledged that their website is struggling with traffic and that some users may suffer difficulties. Census Australia @ABSCensus The ABS & Census websites are currently experiencing an outage. We're working to restore the service. We will keep you updated. Thank you.

Nic Christensen @nicchristensen Get everyone to log on at the same time. What could possibly go wrong? #census2016 09:54 AM - 09 Aug 2016 Reply Retweet Favorite There's never been a more exciting time to fill out the census.
