NOTES


ABOUT THIS PUBLICATION

This publication presents estimates, from the annual Economic Activity Survey, of the economic and financial performance of the Australian manufacturing industry for 2005-06 together with data on a comparable basis from 2001-02 and intervening years.



CHANGES IN NEXT ISSUE

The data in this publication will be the last released on the basis of the 1993 edition of the Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC). Commencing with 2006-07 data, results will be presented on the basis of a new (2006) edition of ANZSIC.


The 2006-07 issue of this publication will also contain data for 2004-05 and 2005-06 on the basis of the 2006 ANZSIC, as an aid to analysis.


For further details see paragraph 3 of the Explanatory Notes.
