CHANGES IN THIS ELECTRONIC RELEASE
As foreshadowed in last year's release the content and layout of this release has been revised.
The calculation and presentation of Net Acquisition of Non-Financial Assets have been modified to coincide with the presentation that appears in the standard Operating Statement in Government Finance Statistics, Australia (cat. no. 5512.0).
The former Net Acquisition of Non-Financial Assets table by GPC (for each jurisdiction) has been replaced with a similar table showing Gross Fixed Capital Formation by purpose.
Details of Commonwealth Government Grants by GPC to individual jurisdictions are no longer included as part of each jurisdiction's set of tables. They have been amalgamated and are now presented as a single table (Table 18).
The former detailed individual year tables showing data for every jurisdiction have been replaced with a range of broader cross-jurisdiction summary tables, each presenting a six year time series and details of intra-sector transfers.
The ABS welcomes feedback from users on the new layout in the time series tables.
