Telstra Corporation was effectively privatised on 20 November 2006. For the purpose of ABS statistics this change from public sector to private sector is effective from March quarter 2007. This change has impacted on the data series presented in this publication, particularly the March quarter 2007 movements in private and public sector engineering work done and construction work done estimates..


As a result of this change, the private and public sector trend estimates for engineering work done and construction work done have been suspended for the March and June quarters 2007. It is anticipated that the trend estimates for these series will be resumed from the September quarter 2007.
