Australians are being forced to answer government questions about their sex life and face jail if they refuse<\/p>\n
Julie Wilson<\/strong> A survey conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics <\/a>(ABS) has gone from a voluntary survey regarding economical issues such as employment, to mandatory personal questions regarding one\u2019s sex life.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Australian citizens have been complaining about government surveyors knocking on their doors and asking very intrusive personal questions. One resident in particular was asked what sexual partners his wife had, and also asked when either of them would be home alone. If residents decline these questions, they can face fines or even jail time.<\/p>\n The Australian government has been conducting what they refer to as a \u201cMonthly Population Survey\u201d (MPS) since 1960 in order to provide regular information about the country\u2019s workforce. However, recent complaints have revealed the questions are much more personal than how long you\u2019ve been out of work.<\/p>\n \u00a0Residents are randomly selected for surveys based on their address. Despite the contradictory information on the ABS website, once residents have been chosen, they\u2019re required to participate in the invasive surveys once a month for eight months. One Aussie in particular was told the only way to get around the survey would be to change addresses.<\/p>\n \u00a0Yahoo Australia reports in the last year that the ABS took action against 1,500 Aussies, in which 94 were referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0The ABS harasses and even threatens over 350,000 homes each year. The only question residents can legally refuse to answer are questions regarding religion.<\/p>\n <!– <\/p>\n –><\/p>\n This article was posted: Friday, June 21, 2013 at 3:49 pm<\/p>\n Tags: big brother<\/a>, foreign affairs<\/a><\/p>\n
