CHANGES TO THE ESA FOR AUSTRALIA LIST
Some statistic assessments included dataset gaps which were likely to impact the outcome of the quality assessment. The assessments were still produced using the available datasets given that the assessment clearly identifies which datasets were included and that some indication of quality for those statistics can still be useful. Similarly, throughout the quality assessment process it was discovered that some statistics did not have a full suite of datasets identified in the original ESA list.
While the original 2013 ESA list identified 178 datasets, this was revised to 239 during the quality assessment process. This was due to additional information becoming available about some individual datasets on the 2013 list, such as single listings which were separated into multiple datasets and also a small number of datasets which were removed as they were duplicates or did not exist. The Revised 2013 ESA for Australia List is included in Appendix 2.
As assessments were a point in time assessment of the 2013 list as it stood, the 74 statistics that were originally identified were not updated. It is intended that the ESA list will be revised formally in 2016, which will incorporate feedback from the quality assessment process.
