Perhaps your unaware of the general policy in this country to shaft the little fella at every opportunity.
Did you get a different flock number of your own. If so the department are probably counting you as sheep farming for a year.
As the census is averaged over 2 years they have added 0 to last years census and divided by 2.
I think you need 7 sheep per hectare for maximum payment so I'm guessing you had around 42 sheep last year and according to the department 21 on average over 2 years.
You can probably try to explain the force majeure situation and see if they can do anything but I don't want to get your hopes up.
