The cost of Australia’s 2011 national census is estimated to have exceeded $A400m, prompting the Australian Bureau of Statistics to propose abolishing the next census in 2016. The bureau argues that the cost savings could be used to upgrade its IT systems and undertake annual population surveys with a much smaller sample of respondents. Reducing the frequency of the census from five years to 10 is also believed to be under consideration
