Manufacturing, Construction (except in 2000-01 due to the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST)), Wholesale trade, Retail trade, and Transport and storage have contributed positively to the growth in GSP since 2000-01. Some industries have had a constant flat contribution, including Electricity, gas and water, Accommodation, cafes and restaurants, Education and Cultural and recreational services.
In 2005-06, the main contributors to growth were Construction (1.5 percentage points), Wholesale trade (0.7 percentage points) and Property and business services (0.5 percentage points). Mining detracted 0.4 percentage points from growth in 2005-06 mainly due to falls in production of crude oil and condensate, diamonds, gold and nickel.
