1180654 2011-02-22 03:06:00 Our forms arrived today.
Can't really remember how similar it is to last year's, but some of the questions are vexatious.
35 Job Title (paraphrased)
36 "In that job, what tasks or duties did you spend the most time on?

I know a few teachers (please don't turn this into a teacher knocking exercise - it's just an example) who would say that, with the "new" qualifications changing every time you turn around, it would be difficult to decide between "teaching" and paperwork!

Can anybody else spot any other fish hooks?

There was something about that on 3 News last night. The overstayers are going to ground and refusing to answer the door

1180659 2011-02-22 19:06:00 The 2001 census in England was held on the day before I emigrated here and I was staying overnight with my folks so they put me down as living there. Legally they had to put me down but what a stupid idea. I didn't live there and hadn't for quite a few years gary67 (56)
1180660 2011-02-22 19:15:00 Several years ago on census night we were flying home and were not classed as being in NZ at that time, so we didn't 'exist'. Unfortunately, those who collect taxes didn't see it in quite the same light. Marnie (4574)
