We hate to sound like a load of wank, but Twitter handles *are* important in this here modern year of 2016.
This bloke’s waking up to whole lot of cranky tweets. Pls meet Adrei Soroker, twitter handle @abs. #CensusFail pic.twitter.com/P6EMfyitOn

“I always get them (messages), for years I’ve been getting them, but not to the degree as tonight.It became funny and noticeable because a substantial portion of Australians are tweeting me instead of the Australian Bureau of Statistics.”
There’s already been an inquiry into the ABS. It found to be not ready to maximise the value of all gov-held information. @abs is this true?

So @ABS saved $100 million by going online so that millions of people could waste hours of time. Nice. #censusfail

Perhaps we have just been spectacularly trolled by the @abs. (If so, well played!)#CensusFail

“I put it on my bio a long time ago, but now I see people legitimately pissed off, people are attacking me by accident.It’s died down a little but every time I open my phone there are notifications.”
“I appreciate them (the tweets), they’re always interesting, I ended up reading a number of articles about it. I’m enjoying it a lot.”
I feel as a country we should send @abs some gifts to make good for copping tweets intended for @ABSCensus. Amazon sells Tim Tams, right?
