Moving the Australian population census to the web should never fail to a denial of service attack. The amount of data to be transferred is tiny, let's massively overestimate and say 100KB. It has to be secured, but that's what encryption is for. The business requirement for the transaction speed, it's nowhere near the usual 200 milliseconds. 200 minutes would be fine. Constructing a huge central web and transaction processing enterprise application tells me that the designers built what they knew. Rather than using the inherent distribution of the data to win through computer science. #auspol
