REVISIONS IN THIS ISSUE

A change has been applied to the seasonally adjusted current price series of 'coal, coke and briquettes'. From September quarter 2005, seasonal factors used to construct the corresponding chain volume series have been applied to the current price estimates in original terms to derive the seasonally adjusted series. Trend break corrections previously applied to the trend series of 'coal, coke and briquettes' have been removed. A length-of-quarter adjustment continues to be applied to seasonally adjust the 'coal, coke and briquettes' component prior to September quarter 2005.


ESTIMATED RESIDENT POPULATION ESTIMATES

The National Accounts will incorporate population estimates based on the 2011 Census when final population estimates are published in June 2013. In the meantime population estimates are based on the 2006 Census and adding natural increase (births minus deaths) and net overseas migration (immigration minus emigration) to move forward to the current quarter.
