This issue of ABS Demography News will be the final issue as a separate release.

Of particular interest in this edition is information about the rebuild of the Overseas Arrivals and Departures (OAD) system. The aim is to improve the quality of OAD data and improve the quality of the imputations being used within the processing system. One of the main improvements is the imputation for country of birth, in particular for New Zealand citizens. The current plan is to release these improvements into production with the release of Overseas Arrivals and Departures, January 2013 (cat. no. 3401.0) in March 2013.
