I just love the way SBS news is not explaining that the census is now being used to join a data across all portfolios (in it's pro census story). Because that's not a story, right?
I've never quite felt the same about the ABC news since their coverage of the 2016 census in which they didn't inform their audience that MAJOR changes to our census were being made. The Parl Inquiry critiqued the ABS but not the media for their role in keeping everyone ignorant!
The only reason I realised anything was worth paying attention to at all with the census was because the Pirate Party raised concerns about it & I decided to make an effort to find out if there was any reason to take issue with it. My research turned into ausgov.info/index.php?Topi…
I knew very little (if anything) about privacy then but what I learned about changes to the census from 2016 is what turned me into a privacy advocate. Quite a prolific one too.
