Award for producing "Measuring Australia's Progress"
The Australian Statistician, Dennis Trewin, pictured above, topped the society category of The Bulletin's Smart 100 awards, presented last month, for the ground breaking work undertaken by the ABS in producing the publication Measuring Australia's Progress (MAP). The award was presented at the Sydney Opera House on 21 October 2003. MAP presents a revolutionary way of tracking key aspects of economic, environmental and social progress to measure whether life is improving – and at what rate. The next edition of MAP (ABS cat.no. 1370.0) is expected in April 2004. All LEP member libraries received the issue of MAP released in 2002 and will receive the 2004 release.
