New FOI documents reveal comms meltdown on night of #CensusFail
Emails between the Australian Bureau of Statistic’s Census team and its external partners paint a picture of a communications breakdown with no crisis plan, newly released correspondence reveals.
The documents, released following an application under the Freedom of Information Act, detail email communications between the team.
The emails show a day which began calmly dealing with last-minute campaign approvals. But by 10:00pm the Prime Minister’s Office was involved and Census night was officially in crisis.
Is the ASB a thing or a typo?
Hi Kate,
The ASB is a thing – the Ad Standards Board but in this instance it’s a typo as it’s meant to be ABS.
Thanks for pointing it out, I’ve fixed it up.
Cheers,
