Is something we all cherish. Such a disgrace, and embarrassment, that Australia has never valued this information and must make the rest of the world wonder what it is that we are trying to hide. The time for change is way overdue and the law needs to be changed to ensure that this valuable info is retained for future generations. A step forward, is to "check" AGREE on Qu 60 of the 2011 Census and encourage others to do the same.
