While recent media reports have indicated that Australians are shying away from travel to the United States due to safety fears, a weakening dollar, and border security concerns, new figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) paint a different picture. Listen to this podcast to find out what the data and experts say about whether Australians are really turning away from travelling to the US.

Australia's population grew by 1.8 per cent in the 12 months to September 2024, adding 484,000 people to the national headcount, according to the latest figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).  That puts our population at 27.3 million, with overseas migration once again leading the charge—albeit at a slower pace than earlier quarters. While the post-pandemic migration surge has moderated, we're still seeing 618,000 arrivals versus 238,000 departures, giving us a net overseas migration figure of 380,000.  This continues a tapering trend, but still marks a major contributor to the housing pressure being felt across the country. Western Australia led the states in population growth, rising 2.5 per cent. Victoria followed at 2.1 per cent and Queensland at 2.0 per cent. In contrast, Tasmania's population barely grew, increasing just 0.3 per cent over the same period. At the state level, New South Wales added 120,800 residents to reach 8.5 million, while Victoria added 146,700 to reach just over 7 million. Queensland's population climbed to 5.6 million, with 111,900 new residents over the year.  These increases represent real housing demand across all tenures: ownership, rental, and emergency accommodation. But while net overseas migration is slowing, a separate but related shift is gaining traction again: regional migration.  The Regional Australia Institute's (RAI) latest Regional Movers Index revealed that internal migration to regional areas, while slowing compared to the COVID boom, remains a long-term structural trend. The RMI shows a fourfold increase in migration from capital cities to places like Bendigo and Bunbury.  Sydneysiders still account for the bulk of outflows (59 per cent), although that share is falling. Melburnians, on the other hand, are rising—now making up 40 per cent of net capital outflows. Greater Geelong and Bendigo are the clear winners in Victoria. Bendigo, in particular, is surging off the charts, with a 63 per cent quarterly growth in migration and a fourfold increase year-on-year.  It's now second only to Bunbury in WA as the fastest-growing regional centre. And what happens when people move? House prices follow. Bunbury's median house price jumped 28 per cent in 2024—the highest growth of any WA regional centre. Geelong's rise in popularity is also pressuring housing stock and values. What this all signals is that the city-to-regional migration story isn't going away—it's simply evolving. And it's not just young professionals making the shift. According to new research from the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute, older, wealthier Australians are leading the regional migration trend, motivated by lifestyle factors and affordability.  This shift has profound implications—not just for property values but for rental stress in areas traditionally considered affordable. Professor Nicole Gurran from the University of Sydney notes that regional migration creates a “ripple effect”—pushing up rents and home prices not only in high-growth towns but also in outlying areas as low-income earners are displaced. “Increased pressure on housing costs in the regions creates knock-on effects for affordability in neighbouring communities,” Gurran said. “It's especially critical that we ramp up investment in social and emergency housing to offset these shifts.” So what's the bottom line? Australia's housing supply continues to lag population growth. Migration—both international and domestic—remains a powerful driver of housing demand. And while big-city markets get the media spotlight, regional areas are where the most intense growth and pressure are now playing out. Investors, policymakers, and developers should be taking note: this isn't a COVID blip—it's a decade-long demographic realignment. Ignore it at your peril.

Over the last year, the nation has seen the first percentage decrease in people working from home (WFH) since 2020, Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data shows. - පසුගිය වසර තුළ, 2020 වසරේ සිට නිවසේ සිට වැඩ කරන පුද්ගලයින්ගේ (WFH) පළමු ප්‍රතිශතය අඩු වී ඇති බව ඕස්ට්‍රේලියානු සංඛ්‍යාලේඛන කාර්යාංශයේ (ABS) දත්ත පෙන්වා දෙයි.

There are many reasons Australia has a dwelling shortage and affordability problems – including the increased time it takes to build a new home. In recent years, it typically took around nine months on average to build a house in Australia. Today it takes 13 months. It's worse for businesses which are constructing apartment complexes. Recent analysis from Master Builders Australia has revealed that building times for detached homes and apartments have almost doubled – with a consequent impact on costs. Master Builders says: “It shouldn't take this long to build a home”. These findings, obtained from recent analysis of Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data, show that it took an average of 13 months to build a detached house in FY2024, marking a 40 per cent increase on the average compared to a decade ago. Master Builders noted that construction times had lengthened even further for apartment buildings, with the average of 33 months from approval to completion in FY2024, representing an 80 per cent increase on the average of 18.5 months observed in FY2011. That warrants repeating: it previously took a year and a half to get the average apartment building completed, but now it takes almost three years. And that's the national average situation: it's considerably worse in some states. You don't need to be a financial genius to understand what that does to the costs of building new homes in Australia. CEO of Master Builders Australia, Denita Wawn, says these extended construction time frames are hindering the industry's ability to address housing demand and confront the housing crisis. She says: “There are a range of contributing factors including labour shortages, declining productivity, union pattern agreements, supply chain disruptions, complex regulatory requirements, occupational certificate backlogs and critical infrastructure delays.”  Wawn points out that, with the advancements which have occurred in technology and construction methods in recent years, “we should be building homes faster, not slower”. Master Builders called for action to be taken to address the bottlenecks and inefficiencies around construction processes. They suggest streamlining government approval processes, encouraging adoption of digital solutions, introducing incentives to grow the workforce through domestic and international means, and strengthening the domestic supply chain. Master Builders chief economist Shane Garrett says that the latest ABS data on home completions indicate the country is on track to fall well short of the National Housing Accord target of 1.2 million homes by 2029 – indeed, by “over 400,000 homes”.  

Household wealth in Australia keeps rising and the key reason for that is residential property – which accounts for 68 per cent of the total wealth of Australian households. New data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) shows that total household wealth has reached $16.5 trillion. Now, that number doesn't mean much to the average observer, so here are some other numbers that give it some context. That household wealth figure represented a 1.5 per cent rise in the June quarter and the current level of the highest on record. It's 9.3 per cent higher than a year ago, and it means the overall level of household wealth in the nation has increased for seven consecutive quarters, driven primarily by residential land and dwellings. Dr Mish Tan, head of finance statistics at the ABS, notes that house prices have continued to rise across most states and territories, despite high interest rates, and said this largely reflects ongoing housing supply constraints.Property assets reached an unprecedented level of $11.2 trillion as of 30 June 2024, making up around 68 per cent of household wealth. The surge in household wealth over recent years has largely been attributed to rising property prices. Households also hold $1.72 trillion in cash and deposits or 10.4 per cent of their total net worth, alongside a record $3.94 trillion in superannuation assets. Now, one of the ways that residential real estate has pumped up household wealth in the past year or so, is the steady rise in the number of suburbs across Australia with a median price above $1 million. According to CoreLogic, the number of Australian suburbs with a $1 million median price for either houses or apartments has reached a new record high. Over the 12 months to September, 218 more suburbs surpassed a $1 million median for houses or apartments. Australia now has 1,257 suburbs with a median house value at or above $1 million, as well as 140 suburbs with a median apartment value at the same level. And if you want to discover which suburbs are most likely to join the Million Dollar club in the near future, get yourself a copy of our newest report – the national Top 10 Million Dollar Hotspots report. Hotspotting has published this report in conjunction with multi award winning buyers agency Propertybuyer – and it provides valuable insights into where to buy real estate in locations where the median price is below $1 million, but expected to surpass the milestone figure in the not too distant future.  

Should the 2026 Census ask you if you're gay? That's one of the questions advocacy groups for queer Australians have been grappling with as the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) prepares its next census.  LGBTIQA+ advocacy groups have argued that the government does not collect enough fine-grain data on queer Australians to improve physical and mental health outcomes in the community that are poorer than the general population. On the other hand – could questions about people's sexuality and gender identity risk the safety of people who aren't out to their families?  Seemingly out of nowhere, in recent days advocates have learned that the government will not allow the ABS to include questions about questions about sexuality, sex and gender, which the groups have been arguing for.  On this episode of the Briefing, LGBTIQ+ Health CEO Nicky Bath chats to Bension Siebert about what should and should not be on the Census.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has made a significant change to how it calculates the size of Australia's cattle herd.

The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell by 0.1 percentage point to 4.0 per cent in May, according to data released today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).

People who work in the travel industry are saying that South Korea is Asia's next hottest destination.  It's becoming so popular, some are even suggesting it may surpass  Japan as the most visited destination for Aussies in the region.  The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), says the number of Australians holidaying to South Korea is now 35 per cent above the pre-pandemic figures from 2019. But what is it that is causing this huge surge in popularity?  Luke Grant chats with Adam O'Neill, the Managing Director of Asia Advisory and a former Aussie expat in South Korea to find out why people are flocking to the Korean Peninsula in record numbers. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Picture this: for every dollar a man pockets in Australia, a woman is left with just 78 cents in her purse. It's an unfortunate reality according to recent reports that highlight a gender pay gap of 21.7% across the nation. These figures serve as a stark reminder of the amount of work we still need to do to achieve pay equity in the workplace. Open conversations are incredibly powerful tools for change, so I want to talk about the gender pay gap with you. I know there's a lot of data on this subject and that it can be overwhelming so this episode will give you an overview. By the end, you will be better equipped for future episodes on this topic and hopefully ready to have meaningful conversations about the gender pay gap in your own life. So, what is the Gender Pay Gap? There are a lot of different ways to measure this, but my source is the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA). According to them, the gender pay gap is “a measure of how we value the contribution of men and women in the workforce.” This can be communicated as a dollar amount (78 cents on the dollar) or a percentage (21.7%), but whichever way it's a representation of the difference in earnings. I like WGEA's assessment of the gender pay gap because I believe it gives a more comprehensive overview than other sources like the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). Some of the biggest differences are: The WGEA looks at all organisations with more than 100 employees, where the ABS gets its data from a sample. The ABS solely looks at base pay, but the WGEA considers other forms of remuneration like bonuses, benefits, and overtime. The ABS excludes data from part-time or casual workers, whereas the WGEA them in. This is especially important when you consider we have more women in these roles. Benefits of Addressing the Gender Pay Gap: First and foremost, if we had pay equity it would be incredibly beneficial for all women. It might be hard to visualise when we're talking small numbers like 78 cents, but when you take that across our weekly pay, our annual income, or our lifetime earnings - it's much easier to see women are losing out on huge amounts of money.  It's money that could be used to help women escape situations like homelessness or domestic violence. The benefits go beyond women though. The gender pay gap is estimated to cost the Australian economy 52 billion dollars. Imagine what could change if that wasn't the case! There are countless more reasons why we need to address this issue and I'll touch on more of them in future episodes. LINKS:Connect With Me:Exceptional Leadership Framework: https://www.rebeccabangura.com/5-step-framework-to-exceptional-leadershipBook your strategy call: https://calendly.com/rebeccabangura/get_in_touchWebsite: https://www.rebeccabangura.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebeccabangura/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamrebeccabangura/

Welcome to the latest edition of 2 Sense on the Australian Property Podcast, where we break down the biggest news headlines of the week and tell you what this really means for you. Mortgage Broker Chris Bates and Buyer's Agent Pete Wargent discuss the housing shortage forcing people to turn to granny flats, property investors driving a mortgage rebound, and why 1/3 of builders are losing money. Story 1: Desperate Aussies turn to granny flats CoreLogic economist Eliza Owen notes the following reasons why the rental market is still so high: (1) a shortfall of rental listings at a time when people are once again migrating to Australia in big numbers, (2) a growing desire among people post-pandemic to live in bigger homes with fewer people and (3) shortfall in investors building new properties for renters as interest rates have risen. Not such good news for renters in the short term as there's going to be some pain as we continue to see strong flows of net overseas migration. What's next? Story 2: Property investors drive mortgage rebound According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), overall mortgage commitments rose by 2.2% in August, with owner-occupier commitments rising by 2.6% and investor mortgage commitments rising by 1.6%. The rebound in overall mortgage growth is being driven by investors, with the value of investor commitments almost back at the 2015 peak. While a higher than usual share of investors are selling, there are also more investors purchasing The situation facing property investors should also improve over the coming year given the rental market is experiencing record tightness, population growth is booming, prices are rising, and reduced construction levels. What's next? Story 3: A third of large builders are losing money Despite talk of greedy developers, many are going bust, and a third of larger developers are burning negative cashflow according to the FSR released by the Reserve Bank of Australia. Materials cost inflation slowed to 0.2% in the September quarter (Coredell), but wages are still under pressure due to skills shortages across the construction sector because of thin margins, leverage, rising interest rates, and soaring costs. It is expected to have more insolvencies, undersupply, unit rents to rise, and units to outperform for the next year or two in the capital cities.

What are the big influences in our property market today? The main one is one you probably haven't thought about. We often talk about price growth and supply and demand and the economy, but the one I'm going to share with you today may change the way you think about buying your next investment. So hopefully, at the end of today's show, you'll have some clarity on the big influences and what we at Metropole research when we help make our recommendations. Is this the most significant factor driving our property markets? What is the little secret behind whopping price growth? It's not the economy, even though that's important. It's not supply and demand, even though that plays a role. It's not infrastructure spending, availability of finance, or population growth either. Although all of these things are important and undoubtedly impact our real estate markets, the truth is there is one major factor that drives property values more than anything else. And that factor is homeowners or as we sometimes call them – Owner Occupiers. Fact is: they own close to 70 percent of all the properties in Australia and therefore dominate our market and without them, it simply falls over. So, it's interesting that while owner-occupiers are one of the most significant influences on property, they are commonly overlooked. Here's a relatively current snapshot of the national property market according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and CoreLogic: There are 10.7 million residential dwellings Australia-wide with a total value of $9.8 Trillion Spread across around 15,000 suburbs An additional 130,000 to 160,000 new dwellings are added every year The total debt against these dwellings is $2 Trillion (giving an overall Loan to Value Ratio for residential property of just over 20%) Residential real estate makes up 55.6% of Australian household wealth Investors own around 27% of Australian dwellings by number, and 24% by value. There are more than 2 million individual property investors in Australia Each property investor in Australia owns an average of 1.28 properties This is why I always give the following advice to investors who are searching for a strong property performer: Buy the type of property that will appeal to owner-occupiers. Owning a property with an element of scarcity that is located close to amenities, jobs, transport, lifestyle features and cultural, social aspects like cafés, bars, and arts precincts will always attract home buyers. But these are features that appeal to tenants, too. In general, the more established suburbs with better infrastructure, shopping, and amenities tend to be close to the CBD and the water and that's where the wealthy want to and can afford to live, and they're prepared to pay a premium to live there. The rich do not like to commute. Overall, by focussing your research on what those often-overlooked owner-occupiers are doing, you may just find an investment that outperforms the market and delivers strong value and growth over the long term. The 7 biggest influencers of our property markets Regardless of the economy, cycle, or market conditions, property is always a hot topic of conversation. The reality is that the property market isn't an independent economy sector. Rather, it's inextricably linked to a myriad of other financial, social, and political factors, all of which impact what your family home, or your next investment property, might be worth. So, what are these factors? Household formation This oft-overlooked factor is actually more important than overall population growth because what increases the demand for housing isn't the number of people living in a city (or country), but the number of dwellings needed to accommodate them. Demographics It's likely that now that we're moving into a Covid normal life our borders will open meaning more and more people will want to come and live in the safety of Australia. The population growth corridors of our cities tend to be poor capital growth locations. At the same time these locations tend to be where new families and migrants move, and this demographic, which tends to have a little spare cash left at the end of the month, are areas where there is little ability to push up the value of properties – these are not high wage-earning areas. Affordability Investors should avoid blue-collar areas or young family suburbs and seek out suburbs where wages growth is higher than the state averages. These are locations where people can afford to and will be prepared to, pay a premium to live. These are often the gentrifying middle ring suburbs of our capital cities. Credit policy Over the past few years, we've seen the significant impact changes in credit policy can have on our property markets. The fact is people simply can't buy properties if they can't access the cash. And while interest rates are unlikely to rise in the next little while, APRA is likely to interfere to try and slow down our property markets. National wealth, wage growth, and job creation Artificial intelligence experts have estimated that anywhere from 20 to 40 percent of all jobs could be taken over by robots in the future, meaning there will be fewer employment opportunities for unskilled workers or those who perform repetitive tasks. This means we will have fewer people doing more productive work. All of this could impact buyers' abilities to save deposits, secure finance, and pay mortgages, and in turn, influence house prices. Supply of dwellings As I've already explained, increasing the supply of dwellings is going to be paramount as our population increases. But people won't buy a house and land package 40km from the CBD if they can't get to work, or if local schools, shops, and medical facilities are lacking. Consumer confidence Regardless of how readily available credit is, or how fast the population is actually growing, people's perception of these things is just as important. Buying property is an emotion-heavy process, and buyers – both owner-occupiers and investors – often let their heartstrings pull them in directions their heads might not.

On the second episode of The Property Nerds for 2022, self-proclaimed data nerds Arjun Paliwal and Leigh Paliwal deep dive into housing and rental supply data to uncover the truth behind headlines that state the housing market is slowing down. Arjun, head of research at InvestorKit, and Leigh, director of Hills Finance, analyse current and historical data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and other research firms to debunk some of the claims. They stress the importance of being mindful when looking at locations in Australia where price growth is strong, affordability is stretching, and the economy is robust. The nerds highlight the secret to analysing market indicators: look beyond the month-on-month and year-on-year peaks and dig into data pre-COVID to glimpse the bigger picture and give proper context to investment decisions.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) recognises a person as experiencing homelessness if they are living in a dwelling that is inadequate; has no tenure, or if their initial tenure is short and not extendable; or does not allow them to have control of, and access to space for social relations. From this overview the ABS defines six categories of homelessness:   persons living in improvised dwellings, tents, or sleeping out (‘rough sleepers') persons in supported accommodation persons staying temporarily with other households (‘couch surfing') persons living in boarding houses persons in other temporary lodgings persons living in 'severely' crowded dwellings.   Listen to the discussion with our special guest brother Dean Mousad from Brothers in Need.   View the live video on Facebook at Live a Day in my Shoes with Dean Mousad   Follow us on Instagram @theconvo.pod Follow us on Apple podcast @The Convo

Almost 600000 Australians lost their jobs as the virus shutdown took hold in April. The steepest monthly drop since records began more than 40 years ago, data showed Thursday. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) said 100000 people filed for unemployment benefits. While a further 500000 left the workforce altogether. Prime Minister Scott Morrison called the figures "terribly shocking", with the ABS reporting the underutilization rate. Which combines unemployment and underemployment. That reached a record high of 19.9 percent in April. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/latestnewssuno/support

It was fascinating to hear Winston Peters in conversation with Mike Hosking today.It’s been easy to forget with the extraordinary powers granted to Ashley Bloomfield, the Director of Civil Defence and the Police Commissioner to make decisions. Decisions which are then enacted by the Cabinet and sold to us by the Prime Minister and Finance Minister. That Winston is still Deputy PM, Foreign Minister and the leader of a party separate to Labour.That gives him insight.  He’s got a dog in the fight, along with a different point of view.While he’s made some headlines with the trans-Tasman bubble, this is obviously just an aspirational goal rather than a hook to hang your hat on.  As Mike pointed out this morning there’s no way that Scott Morrison is looking at flights between Queenstown and Sydney when Australians still can’t fly from Melbourne to Brisbane for a holiday in the sun.You get the feeling that was always a diversion to keep us fantasising about the happier future to come.Conversation then turned to debate about when we can reduce our alert level.  While Winston said that he would never break the confidentiality of cabinet debate, you were also left in no doubt that he is advocating for a reduction.  And that’s reassuring.  With Cabinet having all the power in rule setting right now, it is good to know that there is a plurality of voices around the table.He also gave an indication that nothing will change until May 11th.  Which is exactly what Ardern said in parliament yesterday in response to Simon Bridges asking why she didn’t consider it every day.Mike then asked why we shouldn’t reduce the limitations on business to be more like Australia.  To which Winston said that Australia is not as open as you might like to think, which Mike didn’t challenge.  Winston then said to come back in eight days and compare Australia and New Zealand then.  Which also gave me hope that things are changing next week for the better.But it also made me wonder just how free Australia is right now. It’s a popular perception that they’ve been freer to trade than us. So I’ve been checking this morning.The first thing to remember is that Australia is a Commonwealth. The federal government makes guidelines and restrictions, but how they’re applied varies between each state.So the Northern Territory, Queensland and Western Australia are much freer than us but then again they have had much fewer cases and the presumption is because of their climate and low population density.But the rest of the States are much like we are in Level 3 and have been for as long as we have been in lockdowns. New South Wales urged retail to stay open while simultaneously urging people to only leave the house for food and essential services. Sydneysiders may be buying cars but malls and the CBDs are just as empty as oursBig Box retail is still marginally open is some states but they report that most business has moved online and people are wary of going out and trade is heavily down.Today, the ABC has reported that 1 million Australians are out of work because of the virus. Analysing payroll data from the tax office, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) found the number of jobs slumped by 7.5 per cent between March 14 and April 18.The data only measures those workers on the payroll of their employer, of which there are about 10 million in Australia. The presumption is that level of carnage will also be seen amongst the self employed and contractors.The point is that Australia is not markedly better off economically than us because some States were more lenient. It’s also worth remembering that at the start of this pandemic, Australia had a debt level over 40% compared to us at 20. So we’re better placed to provide stimulus.I heard a talkback caller the other day saying that the Covid debates have been full of comparisons between oranges and apples and I think that’s true.But, in my humble opinion, weighing up all the pros and cons, I’d rather...

In 1988 the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) projected a population of 25 million by 2050. Australia reached that estimate 30 years earlier. The ABS now projects a population of 30 million by 2030. Mike Day says that, at this growth rate, Australia will need to build a new city the size of Darwin every 3 months for the next 40 years.

Amidst sluggish economy, Australia has recorded the highest number of short-term visitors in a year ever, thanks to Indian tourists who registered a strong growth of over 11 per cent.In 2018-19, more than 9.3 million short-term visitors arrived in Australia from overseas, the highest year on record, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) revealed on Wednesday.Please listen to the full report in Pashto. - اسټراليا يو ښکلی هيواد دی، د ياد هيواد ښکلي سمندرغاړې او تاريخي ودانيو د بهرنيانو پام ځانته اړولې.

Official Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) numbers released yesterday suggest a small decline in Darwin’s population during 2017-2018. Charles Darwin University’s Northern Institute demographer Dr Andrew Taylor said the numbers were not unexpected and were part of a longer-term population slow-down for the Territory. “The regional growth figures show a small overall decline in growth for the Greater Darwin area. In general, the ABS figures suggest net losses occurred in established suburbs while newer or greenfield areas like southern Palmerston see continued growth,” Dr Taylor said. Dr Taylor said the Territory’s long-term struggle with growth reflected increasing difficulties governments and businesses in Northern Australia faced in attracting and retaining workers and residents, with a population decline evident for the north as a whole for some years.

Maintaining culture and language is very important for the Karen ethnic group from Burma/Myanmar particularly when resettling to other foreign countries. Decades of civil wars in the country drove hundreds of thousands of Karen people to seek refuge in the neighboring country, Thailand. Life in refugee camps is no guarantee of a better future. The uncertainty pushed thousands of Karen refugees to resettle to third world countries after the year 2000s. Australia is one of the countries that accepted the Karen refugees. According to the 2016 Australian Bureau of Statistics – ABS report, more than 10,000 Karen are living in Australia, mostly in Melbourne. To be able to maintain the Karen traditional clothing, The Western Karen Elders Group is now creating a weaving project and teaching the younger generation how to make Karen traditional clothes. The project also supports those who are having difficulties finding jobs. …… Have a listen to the story final part.

When the government didn't get the numbers to pass legislation for a same-sex marriage plebiscite they put the wheels in motion for their second best plan: a postal survey. Since announcing that the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) would be responsible for carrying out the same-sex marriage postal survey, acting special minister of state Mathias Cormann has had no shortage of questions from journalists and on social media. In the absence of normal protections offered by the Australian Electoral Commission, Cormann says the government is developing legislation to ensure the respective ‘yes' and ‘no' campaigns are respectful. Similarly, issues around accessibility to the postal vote are being worked out by the ABS, with a paperless option being created for certain circumstances. On the High Court challenges tabled for August 24 he says that while no forms will be sent out until September 12 - after the issue is resolved - any money spent preparing the postal survey will have been spent. “We believe the course of action we have chosen is constitutional and legal but this is now a matter for the High Court”.

Australias census has a history of keeping personal information secure and private.

Privacy advocates are concerned that the move will not only lead to public backlash against the census but also undermine the accuracy and credibility of the census results.

Mapping and other mashups have taken the web world by storm - driving innovation in business and government alike. While much of the focus has been on the actual mashup applications, without the data to mashup, we have no mashups. Government, from local to Federal level, collect and manage a significant amount of data, across a very broad range of areas. But giving access to this data to web application developers has technical, policy and legal challenges. In this presentation, Jenny Telford of the ABS looks at these issues from their experience of opening up data from the Australian Census. Jenny Telford is currently the Director of Census Products and Services at the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). Jenny has worked in the government sector for over ten years in roles focused on the delivery of data and information through the internet and other channels. The ABS is one of the largest information providers in the country and freely provides data through the website on a range of social, economic and environmental issues.
