CHANGES IN THIS ISSUE

SINGLE RELEASE

Last year the ABS experimented with 'progressive' jurisdiction releases for the 2002-03 GFE. However, by late October 2002, when the consolidated figures were being produced, essential revisions had to be incorporated, which caused inconsistencies between the consolidated totals and the individual jurisdiction releases. This edition therefore returns to a single release, while retaining the electronic spreadsheet format used last year.

REFERENCE PERIOD

Traditionally, GFE releases have included not only Treasury forecasts for the forward year, but preliminary actuals for the most recent financial year based on estimates/figures contained in official budget documents. Due to the release of final budget outcomes by some jurisdictions in mid to late 2003, the ABS has decided that the publication of the 2002-03 preliminary actuals would cause confusion, as ABS preliminary statistics would be inconsistent with final budget outcomes. Therefore the 2002-03 estimates are not included in this release. The ABS will publish 2002-03 estimates, based on final budget outcomes, in Government Finance Statistics, Australia 2002-03 (cat. no. 5512.0), which will be released in April 2004.


INTRODUCTION

This release contains government financial estimates (GFE for 2003-04) of the Operating Statement, Cash Flow Statement and Expenses by 2-digit Government Purpose for each jurisdiction. It also includes consolidated results for each level of government, i.e. Commonwealth, State, Local, Multi-jurisdictional, plus All Australia. Consistent with past practice, Balance Sheet forecasts for the forward year are not included.

Sectors available in this release include General Government, Public Non-financial Corporations, and the Non-financial Public Sector.
