Amanda and the Census
Amanda called up to see if we were all prepared for the Census. I told her I was going to give false info due to the security changes.
"Oh Josh, what have you got to hide," said Amanda.
"That's not the point..."
"Oh it is, darling, how do you expect the government to make policy with incorrect info," said Amanda. "Josh, I am surprised at you."
"What policy," mum, "What policy?"
“To run the country, luv.”
“What? Tough on terrorists and the torture of refugees? You mean those policies?”
“Don’t be silly,” said Amanda. “Building roads and schools.”
“100 thousand dollar degrees and more freeways to choke the city and the world’s air? That policy?”
“Josh, sometimes you are impossible.”
“It is just more data collection to be sold off to the highest bidder when the govts rich donors want access to it.”
“It is all secure…”
“Did you know the ABS has had something like 13 security breaches in the last 12 months, or something like that,” I replied. “They cannot guarantee the safety of your data, not for a minute.”

"You should do your bit."
"Only a fool would freely offer up their personal details to the govt."
