APPENDIX 1 SPECIAL AND ANALYTICAL PRICE INDEX SERIES
INTRODUCTION
Various series are presented in tables 8, 9, and 10 of Consumer Price Index, Australia (cat. no. 6401.0) that are helpful for analytical purposes. As a result of the introduction of the 15th Series Australian CPI, there have been some changes to the groups, subgroups and expenditure classes contributing to each of the special series. Some of the compiled series are self-explanatory, such as 'All groups excluding Food'. This appendix describes the composition of each of the less straightforward special series.
