Still, time to fill in the Census forms: ABS spokesperson

The information circular that came along with the census form by post this year did not have a Hindi translation. There are also concerns about the cut-off after which the Australian Bureau of Statistics would levy penalty rates. Households who have not responded will receive in-person or mail reminders first, says Nirmal Singh, Community Engagement Officer at ABS.
