The Australian Bureau of Statistics will release the first major data set from the 2021 Census in the week beginning 27 June, with demographers, business and the Australian Electoral Commission among the many users of census data. Andrew Leigh, Labor’s Assistant Minister for Competition, Charities and Treasury, who is the minister in charge of the ABS, notes that many people who completed the 2021 census would have done so away from their normal place of residence as a result of COVID-19 restrictions. Leigh says that planning for the 2026 Census is already underway.
