census silliness

the census is a classic example of what lisa simpson calls "pointless busy-work". the purpose of the last oz census, we're told, is to calculate the amount of unpaid domestic work done. that's easy. this morning i brushed my teeth and washed the breakker things. so i guess i should send an invoice to her maj, care of canberra? being a sporting chap, i'll throw the shoe-shine in for free.

Dude - leave HRH out of it. Y'all in Oz have shunned any British heritage so don't go invoicing her.
