A fellow from the ABS has just contacted me by phone to follow-up my
query. He explained that they have tested a lot of operating systems
including different flavours of Linux and asked specific questions about
which version of Linux and Firefox that I use. He further explained that
the census form will work much better than that of the pages displayed
in the user guide.

Rather than talking amongst yourselves, please consider submitting any
queries or concerns to the ABS so that the people who have implemented
eCensus have the opportunity to address them.

I believe that they are very earnest in wishing to make it accessible
and work smoothly for everyone.
