  Between the 2011 and 2016 national censuses, the Australian Bureau of
Statistics changed its anonymity policy compliance system for the distribution
of census data. The new method has resulted in dramatic inconsistencies when
comparing low-resolution data to aggregated high-resolution data. Hence,
aggregated totals do not match true totals, and the mismatch gets worse as the
data resolution gets finer. Here, we address several aspects of this
inconsistency with respect to the 2016 usual-residence to place-of-work travel
data. We introduce a re-sampling system that rectifies many of the artifacts
introduced by the new ABS protocol, ensuring a higher level of consistency
across partition sizes. We offer a surrogate high-resolution 2016 commuter
dataset that reduces the difference between aggregated and true commuter totals
from ~34% to only ~7%, which is on the order of the discrepancy across
partition resolutions in data from earlier years.
