"Australian national census fails in the IBM cloud
Online form goes down hard ... and stays down
Australia is today conducting a contentious national census, and things aren't going smoothly.
The nation's Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has hired IBM to run the online data collection portal and at the time of writing The Register's antipodean outpost, and plenty of others, are finding it impossible to reach the site."

The offical website, just in case you still have to fill out your form
