As everyone’s watching the COVID-19 case numbers, you might be forgiven for forgetting next week is Census night.
You might also be forgiven for forgetting what a stuff-up it was last time, as the website crashed.
The good news it shouldn’t happen this time – because you can do it online as soon as you’ve received the form.
The bad news is it might be that nothing has changed for you since last time.
But you did have five years to do something different.
While Victoria reached zero COVID cases, Queensland recorded 16 and NSW another 233. The ASX 200 has shrugged it off however and is trading up 0.06% as at 11.30am.
