APPENDIX B: HISTORICAL AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT
DATA
This appendix reports historical data for the Australian Government fiscal aggregates
across the general government, public non-financial corporations and non-financial
public sectors.
DATA SOURCES
Data is sourced from Australian Government Final Budget Outcomes, the Australian
Bureau of Statistics (ABS), and Australian Government Consolidated Financial
Statements.
•
Accrual data from 1996-97 onwards and cash data, net debt data, net financial
worth data and net worth data from 1999-2000 onwards are sourced from
Australian Government Final Budget Outcomes. Back-casting adjustments for
accounting classification changes and other revisions have been made from
1998-1999 onwards where applicable.
•
Cash data prior to 1999-2000 are sourced from ABS data, which have been
calculated using methodology consistent with that used for later years in
ABS cat. no. 5512.0 Government Finance Statistics.
•
Net debt data prior to 1999-2000 are from ABS cat. no. 5512.0 Government Finance
Statistics 2003-04 in 1998-99, ABS cat. no. 5501.0 Government Financial Estimates
1999-2000 and ABS cat. no. 5513.0 Public Sector Financial Assets and Liabilities 1998 in
1987-88 to 1997-98, and Treasury estimates (see Treasury’s Economic Roundup,
Spring 1996, pages 97-103) prior to 1987-88.
COMPARABILITY OF DATA ACROSS YEARS
The data set contains a number of structural breaks due to accounting classification
differences and changes to the structure of the Budget which cannot be eliminated
through back-casting due to data limitations. These breaks can affect the comparability
of data across years, especially when the analysis is taken over a large number of years.
Specific factors causing structural breaks include:
•
from 2005-06 onwards, underlying Government Finance Statistics (GFS) data are
provided by agencies in accordance with Australian Equivalents to International
Financial Reporting Standards (AEIFRS). Prior to 2005-06, underlying GFS data are
based on data provided by agencies in accordance with Australian Accounting
Standards (AAS);
95
Appendix B: Historical Fiscal Data
•
most recent accounting classification changes that require revisions to the historic
series have been back-cast (where applicable) to 1998-1999, ensuring that data is
consistent across the accrual period from 1998-1999 onwards. However, because of
data limitations these changes have not been back-cast to earlier years;
•
prior to 1999-2000, Australian Government general government sector debt
instruments are valued at historic cost, whereas from 1999-2000 onwards they are
valued at market prices (consistent with accrual GFS standards). This affects net
debt and net interest payments;
•
cash data up to and including 1997-98 are calculated under a cash accounting
framework, while cash data from 1998-99 onwards are derived from an accrual
accounting framework.1 Although the major methodological differences associated
with the move to the accrual framework have been eliminated through
back-casting, comparisons across the break may still be affected by changes to some
data sources and collection methodologies;
•
adjustments in the coverage of agencies included in the accounts of the different
sectors. These include the reclassification of Central Banking Authorities from the
general government to the public financial corporations sector in 1998-99, and
subsequent back-casting to account for this change;
•
changes in arrangements for transfer payments, where tax concessions or rebates
have been replaced by payments through the social security system. This has the
effect of increasing both cash receipts and payments, as compared with earlier
periods, but not changing cash balances. Changes in the opposite direction (tax
expenditures replacing payments) reduce both cash payments and receipts; and
•
classification differences in the data relating to the period prior to 1976-77 (which
means that earlier data may not be entirely consistent with data for 1976-77
onwards).
REVISIONS TO PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED DATA
Under the accrual GFS framework and generally under AAS, flows are recorded in the
period in which they occurred. As a result, prior period outcomes may be revised for
classification changes relating to information that could reasonably have been expected
to be known in the past, is material in at least one of the affected periods, and can be
reliably assigned to the relevant period(s).
1
Prior to the 2008-09 Budget, cash data calculated under the cash accounting framework was
used up to and including 1998-99. In the 2008-09 Budget, cash data prior to 1998-99 was
replaced by ABS data derived from the accrual framework.
96
Appendix B: Historical Fiscal Data
REVISIONS SINCE THE 2011-12 BUDGET
The 2010-11 Final Budget Outcome (FBO) includes revisions to the historical series to
reflect the change in accounting treatment for expenditure incurred under the Natural
Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements program. The change involved the
recognition of total expenses in the year when the disaster occurs rather than at the
time when the State or Territory lodges a claim for reimbursement following the
completion of reconstruction works. This change is now back-cast in the historical
series for all published periods and affects expenses, fiscal balance, net worth and net
financial worth for the general government sector.
DEFLATING REAL SPENDING GROWTH BY THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX
The 2010-11 FBO calculates real spending growth using the Consumer Price Index
(CPI) as the deflator. This is also the benchmark against which the Government’s fiscal
strategy is based. Prior to the 2008-09 Budget the non-farm GDP deflator (NFGDP) was
used and has therefore been shown in this statement for comparative purposes.
The use of the CPI, rather than the non-farm GDP deflator, provides a more accurate
depiction of real government spending growth, especially in the current economic
climate. The non-farm GDP deflator incorporates fluctuations in global commodity
prices, which are not relevant for Government expenditures. Therefore, deflating
government spending by the non-farm GDP deflator distorts trends in real spending
growth.

(a) Data has been revised in the 2010-11 Final Budget Outcome to improve accuracy and comparability through
time.
(b) Receipts are equal to receipts from operating activities and sales of non-financial assets.
(c) Payments are equal to payments for operating activities, purchases of non-financial assets and net acquisition
of assets under finance leases.
(d) Underlying cash balance is equal to receipts less payments, less Future Fund earnings. For the purposes of
consistent comparison with years prior to 2005-06 Future Fund earnings should be added back to the
underlying cash balance.
(e) Real spending growth using Non-Farm GDP as the deflator has not been used as the relevant measure of real
spending growth in the Budget since 2007-08, and is included for comparative purposes only. Real spending
growth, using the Consumer Price Index as the deflator, is the benchmark against which the Government’s
fiscal strategy has been based since it was introduced.
