Persistant request from ABS to complete a survey.
About 6 months ago I was ‘selected’ to take part in a survey by the ABS so they could gauge the effect that convid was having in the community. The letter is always addressed to The Householder with my address. They have been to my door in person a couple of times in the early stages to get my information but I say that I do not consent etc. I keep getting the same letter now and again and now just ignore them. In the past I have RTS with I do not consent etc written on the envelope. They say there authority comes from the Census Act which I know is not legal anyway however this Act does not even refer to the ability to conduct ‘Surveys”.

Here’s some more ideas for you.

you can also write return to sender, unknown addressee on the front for the post office to read. On the reverse ‘ Deceased. Remove from list’
sometimes the less confrontational and naive approach is more effective. Bringing up law can create a controversy for which the adversary has a defence prepared ‘ Oh, you are in supplicant to us, you ignoble serf, and we have these powers and these powers, so how dare you raise thy sullen head to gaze upon us..’ Instead just ‘huh?’ is the way forward!!
