Statistics (Heritage Amendment) Bill 2011

Public bill · Private Member · Presented

The proposal would give the 1926 census—the first census taken after the State was established—special heritage status. It would remove the usual restriction on releasing it, allowing the records to be made public for genealogy, historical research and other study.
