2021 Census - HIST30060
The 2021 Census fell on August 10th, during the 6th lockdown. This Mark Knight comic published in the Herald Sun on August 12th is a comedic take on the questions Victorians were truly thinking about. I thought the QR code with Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews was particularly clever, as the use of QR codes to scan into everywhere we visit has become a quintessential part of our everyday routines. The questions themselves are funny, with the Aussie slang ‘yeh, nah’ being the options for each one. Asking things such as if you have been out of your trackies or house that day are clever questions, because they reflect a universal experience that almost all Victorians could relate to in one way or another. -

The author claims there has been a long suppression of Native American mortality rates and medical reports to systematically deprive them of medical access. According to the author, “American Indians and Alaska Natives are 3.5 times more likely to be diagnosed with COVID-19." This shows us that some of the communities hit hardest by the pandemic are some that are receiving the least amount of support. -

Rural areas, tribal lands hit hardest by census interruption
"We have historically been underrepresented in the past, and there's an unfortunate precedent to show we will be underrepresented again. This pandemic makes it all the more challenging," said Javier Sanchez, mayor of Espanola, a city of 10,000 in Rio Arriba County.
