THE PURPOSE OF THE 2013 LIST OF ESA FOR AUSTRALIA
The development of the 2013 list of ESA for Australia will provide the essential information base which, along with the subsequent phases of the initiative, will support the realisation of all three objectives.
The absence of a particular set of statistics from the list should not be interpreted as a suggestion they are not important. The motive for the initiative is to seek improvement in the official statistics available for decision making through new investments in the most critical areas, and not to identify statistics that are of lower priority.
