Wait till the Jedi control the Senate. ... "According to this Theage.com.au article, the Australian Government has issued yet another warning to Star Wars fans intent on writing in 'Jedi' as their religion in the upcoming census. It appears that this e-mail is beginning to pick up some steam."

/* end snip from /.. */

quite a funny idea to throw things off balance.

this email has been doing the rounds for months...
exactly the same mail was on circulation in the UK a couple of months ago, just prior to the first comprehensive national census in ages.

How amusing that the Australian government are trying to scare people by threatening to prosecute them if they incorrectly fill in their forms with "Jedi" as their religion. Can you imagine...

1) The adverse publicity they would actually attract by taking such a person to court
2) The amusing court-room antics that would ensue, as the Australian prosecutor attempted to prove that the defendant WASNT a real "Jedi"!!

*waves hand before you*
"the force is all around us, and there is nothing that can disprove that I am a Jedi."

The ABS are kidding themselves. The forms are a pain to fill out but they have absolutely no possible way of tracing a form back to a household. Certainly not do that and maintain a criminal onus of proof which is required for a prosecution.

Go for it, you Jedis out there!!
