Interestingly, one of the reasons for the ABS issue was recommendations
from a oversight committee. That committee saw substantial savings in
moving the ABS to a web-based census and made that one of the performance
criteria for the incoming Australian Statistician. The only way for the
ABS to deliver that capability for the upcoming census was to use the
external systems integrator it has previously used for a small trial at
the previous census.
