(a) Users should note that the seasonally adjusted and trend estimates have been revised. Generally, the most |
|
|
|
| recent trend estimates published in this release are likely to be improved (revised) when next quarter's | | | |
| seasonally adjusted estimates become available. For more information, users should refer to paragraphs 12-16 | | | |
| of the Explanatory Notes of 8301.0 located at ABS@ABS, the electronic publication subscription | | | |
| service is available on www.abs.gov.au. | | | |
Seasonally adjusted estimates of production for the series Wood pulp, Automotive diesel oil, Silver, Copper, |
|
|
|
| Lead and Tin are more volatile than other series. | | | |
Seasonally adjusted estimates for Newsprint, Hardwood woodchips, Alumina and Zinc are not sufficiently reliable to be published. |
|
|
|
Seasonally adjusted estimates for Fuel oil and Gold do not exhibit sufficient seasonal behaviour to be published. |
|
|
|
(b) For Woodpulp, due to an abnormal movement in the original series for September quarter 2001, the trend has been |
|
|
|
| modified to remove the effect. See also paragraphs 15-17 of the Explanatory Notes of 8301.0 located | | | |
| at ABS@ABS, the electronic publication subscription service is available on www.abs.gov.au. | | | |
(c) For Undressed sawn timber, the volatility in the original series over the last two years due to the introduction |
|
|
|
| of the Goods and Services Tax and the First Home Owners Grant means that the seasonally adjusted and trend | | | |
| figures should be interpreted with caution. | | | |
(d) For Aviation turbine fuel, a trend break for December quarter 2001 has been included in this series, due to an abnormal |
|
|
|
| movement in the original series for that quarter. The recent large downward movement in the original series has | | | |
| caused some uncertainty in the trend estimates from June quarter 2003. A longer span of data is required before the | | | |
| effects of the changes in this industry, and hence the final trend for this series, can be determined. | | | |
(e) For Portland cement, a large upward movement in the original series driven by and increase in demand in the building |
|
|
|
| industry has caused some uncertainty in the trend estimates from September quarter 2003. A longer span of data is required | | | |
| before the effects of the changes in this industry, and hence the final trend for this series, can be determined. | | | |
(f) For Clay Bricks, the original series has been revised from December quarter 1998 to December quarter 2003. |
|
|
|
(g) For Lead, due to abnormal movements in the original series for December quarter 2000 and June quarter 2001, the trend |
|
|
|
| has been modified to remove these effects. See also paragraphs 15-17 of the Explanatory Notes of 8301.0 | | | |
| located at ABS@ABS, the electronic publication subscription service is available on www.abs.gov.au. | | | |
(h) For Gold, due to an abnormal movement in the original series for June quarter 2001, the trend has been modified to |
|
|
|
| remove the effect. See also paragraphs 15-17 of the Explanatory Notes of 8301.0 located at ABS@ABS, the | | | |
| electronic publication subscription service is available on www.abs.gov.au. | | | |
The series 'Basic iron, spiegeleisen and sponge iron' and 'Blooms and slabs of iron or steel' have been discontinued. |
