I was able to access the page using IE Version 6 and Opera 8. I was 
even able to get to it using a mobile phone browser emulator. So it 
seems to be a Firefox configuration problem, not a network one.

With Firefox I get the error message: "The connection to the server 
was reset while the page was loading."  I get the same problem on my 
home office iBurst connection and at the ANU.

Using IE I read the "Technical Help" on the Census web page, which 
instructed me to enable Java, JavaScript and 128-bit encryption in 
Firefox. But this didn't make a difference 
<http://stream0.census.abs.gov.au/eCensusWeb/technical_help.html>.

Of course the help page wouldn't be much help if you have to have 
these setting on before you can read it.  ;-)

I attempted to submit a fault report with the ABS, but as I don't yet 
have a Census Form Number, the system would not allow me to post a report.
