Data quality and limitations

Figures cover the All Australia general government sector on an accrual basis.
Values are current-price, original-series estimates—not inflation-adjusted growth, cash payments, or all public-sector expenditure.
ABS may revise historical estimates, and rounded components may not add exactly to published totals.

APET reorganises the official data for exploration; verify significant findings against the latest ABS GFS release.
