CHANGES IN THIS ISSUE

Both the Import Price Index and the Export Price Index data have been reweighted for the September quarter 2015. This is in line with the ABS policy of reweighting these indexes annually for the September quarter, as explained in paragraphs 8-10 of the Explanatory Notes. The new weighting patterns are provided in the Appendix of this issue. As a consequence of the annual reweighting, the points contribution data for the June quarter 2015 shown in Tables 2, 8 and 17 differ from that published in the previous issue of this publication
