A chara, - I note that the holding of the census has been put back a full year. Foot-and-mouth disease was given as the reason.
Given the importance of the census data in formulating future policy why was it not put back until September/October? Is it because the government has other plans for then - a general election, perhaps? Just wondering! - Yours, etc.,
