how much is the fine when you don't return your census form in australia?

Question

where can i find proof of this? e.g a website or pamphlet or somethin?

Answer 1

I did mine online last night.According to the household guide that was left here,:
"if you do not answer the questions the Australian Statistician has the power to direct you in writing to provide the information and if he does this,you are legally obliged to do so.The Census and Statistics Act 1905 provides for penalties of up to $100 a day for failure to complete and return a form when directed to do so."
Census Inquiry Service phone no.:1300 362 883.

Answer 2

I don't think it is actually compulsory to fill it out..... i was reading the form today and it says something about having co-operation in completing the form would be appreciated
