I started doing the census for our household this morning.
I noticed that one of the questions is really very insensitive and probably hurtful for women who have birthed sleeping babies. It seems that the ABS only counts live births as births.
I just wanted to warn people so the question doesn't come as too much of a surprise because I imagine it would feel like a punch in the stomach.
Maybe if you're feeling fragile it would be best if you put off your census or ask your partner to shoulder the burden
