Ouch! @BBC_WHYS has done an episode on “Australia Cartoon Row” bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04… Australia is really winning this month.
@jxeeno This has cheered me up immensely. Thank you.

@lukehopewell Fair point.
@lukehopewell I reckon you can bring on those wires about now.

@dustappeal @rwerkh @jturner_ibrs At the very least, you need to validate household IDs and prevent duplicate form entry.
@dustappeal @rwerkh @jturner_ibrs You need to be able to resume part-completed forms that have been saved. Some sort of database there?
@dobes Also, remember when we found it hard to type “ABS” because we were so used to typing “ABC”?
@dobes Things can only get better.

@DenubisX @jeffsonstein @Asher_Wolf I did not.
@wibbly @dobes Has it been confirmed that SLK-581 is what ABS uses for Census data as well as all the other stuff?

@RISirius @ABCTV Series one won heaps of awards. Series two has nice plot twists, though I haven’t seen it yet. (I was a script consultant.)
@BeverleyHead Hey everyone needs a little excitement in their life.
Also, I see that Fox is planning to do a US version of “The Code”, which is… interestingdeadline.com/2015/12/the-co…25
So “The Code” series 2 starts on @ABCTV on 1 Sep, which might be fun. tv.press.abc.net.au/the-code-serie… #imightbebiased
@aggerchez That vaguely rings a bell. That was all ad lib, so I’ll have to listen back to get the full glory of it.
Has the ABS been shut down yet and its offices turned into a giant rabbit hutch?
@aggerchez I don’t remember that.
@oberonsghost I may head out in search of opiates later.
