REVISIONS
In this issue revisions have been made to the original series as a result of improved reporting of survey and administrative data. These revisions impact on:
- Commercial finance values for the periods October 2010 and November 2010.
Seasonally adjusted and trend series have been revised as a result of revisions to the original series, the incorporation of estimates for the latest month and the revision of seasonal factors due to the concurrent seasonal adjustment methodology.
IMPACT OF THE FLOODS
Flooding in Queensland began in late December 2010. Data collection and processing for the data in this publication were not disrupted. It is expected that the economic impact of floods/cyclone in Queensland and other states, if any, will be reflected in the forthcoming issues of this publication.
