Apparently there's no going back to 'edit' your census info. https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/131404744/be-warned-mistakes-on-census-forms-cant-be-corrected-or-updated

Haven't had a letter yet so thought I would go online to get an access code downloaded so we could process them.

No record of us at all. It seems we are non persona with the Gummint! The lady I spoke to couldn't find our address on their search system. They don't use names, just addresses and even though we have been here nearly 3 months it is not on the house address database. All sounds strange to me.

All sorted though, she took my house details and will send me a text with the access code. Aren't I a good boy then?

Hmmmm, a lesson learned from online marketers/scammers maybe? ?

How bizarre that they had no address for you - that, or incompetent. Award yourself a chocolate fish.
