Australia holds a census every five years. Unfortunately, they’re destroyed after the statistical data has been extracted. There is an exception to the destruction that came in for the 2011 census (or was it the the 2006 census?), whereby people could nominate on their census forms for the record to be kept for a 100 years before being made public. Very few people will have opted opted for this.
