DATA NOTES

This publication presents estimates at the national and state level. More detailed breakdowns collected by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) may be available on request for a charge. Items for which additional production data are available are listed in paragraphs 8 and 9 of the Explanatory Notes.

The December 2010 and January 2011 issues of this publication noted data collection issues and potential impacts on estimates for December 2010 due to flooding in Queensland. Estimates for December 2010 have been revised in this release and the collation of statistics for January and February 2011 were not affected. As of this release, the quality of estimates in this publication have not been affected by the natural disasters experienced in eastern Australia between late December 2010 and early February 2011.


ROUNDING
