Australian Census last night

[Disco]

This is for my Aussie colleauges, but the rest of the world should see how motorcycles are regarded in an official government 'snapshot' of Australia survey. Helps them plan for future requirements like where more schools are needed, hospitals, roads etc.

Question 54 asked along the lines 'How many registered motorvehicles owned/used by the residents of this address were at this location 9/8/2011'.
Im about to give my answer of the car and a few motorbikes. As pen is about to hit paper, something caught my eye. The following little words:

Exclude motorbikes and scooters :spank:

Once again this shows how little regard the powers that be have for motorbike/scooter riders. We are a complete afterthought in this country, but they are happy to keep taking our rego fees, fuel taxes etc and give us sweet FA in return.

Sick of this **** & getting sick of my country of birth.

The other thing that got my goat was lumping motorbikes and scooters in the category of how you got to work yesterday, WELL the scooter bit got a scribble over it.
All the effort to run the census and the overall questions yield naff all info really
