(a) The following definitions are used in this Budget Paper:
_ `real' means adjusted for the effect of inflation;
_ real growth in expenses is measured by the non-farm Gross Domestic Product deflator;
_ Budget year refers to 2001-02, while the forward years refer to 2002-03, 2003-04 and 2004-05; and
_ one billion is equal to one thousand million.
(b) Figures in tables and generally in the text have been rounded. Discrepancies in tables between totals and sums of components are due to rounding:
_ estimates under $100,000 are rounded to the nearest thousand;
_ estimates $100,000 and over are generally rounded to the nearest tenth of a million;
_ estimates midway between rounding points are rounded up; and
_ the percentage changes in statistical tables are calculated using unrounded data.
(c) The following notations are used:
NEC/nec not elsewhere classified
AEST Australian Eastern Standard Time
- nil
.. not zero, but rounded to zero
na not applicable (unless otherwise specified)
nfp not for publication
$m $ million
(d) References to the `States' or `each State' include the Territories, because from 1993-94 onwards, general purpose funding has been on the same basis for all jurisdictions. The Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory are referred to as `the Territories'. The following abbreviations are used for the names of the States, where appropriate:
NSW New South Wales
VIC/Vic Victoria
QLD/Qld Queensland
WA Western Australia
SA South Australia
TAS/Tas Tasmania
ACT Australian Capital Territory
