7 pm is the start of peak usage for the Internet:

It is also the start of the peak time for electricity use, which is
something future cyber attacks will likely exploit.
I was not able to access the Census on my smart phone, presumingly
because the Opera Mini browser needs an overseas proxy and these are
blocked. I was able to use a laptop and the Firefox browser. The
interface was very responsive and completion took 20 minutes.
One question I was not sure about was "Is the person attending a school
or any other educational institution?". The Help does not mention
on-line or offshore institutions:
http://help.census.abs.gov.au/help/answer/care
The previous Census said "Include ... external or correspondence
students":
http://www.abs.gov.au/websitedbs/censushome.nsf/home/2011hhftranscript#q24
So I said "yes": the university I am "attending" is in North America and
I have never been to the campus.
ps: I noticed that the ABS is buying Google Ads saying: "There's still
time to complete your census".
