Has the Aust census data been stipulated as "must be kept in Australia?"

As a general question, does anyone know if the Aust census data is one of those "must be kept in Australia at all times, and never transferred outside the country" things?

Asking because when I used to work at IBM with various Gov data sources, some of them had requirements like this.

That never stopped IBM from giving access to the data by remote (non-Aust located) operations staff though. IBM never seems to have been called out of this.

Perhaps this is an opportunity for such practises to be discovered, and finally dealt with as well?
