Gross Domestic Product: June 2021 Quarter – Corrected

We wish to inform you that we have identified and corrected an error in Gross domestic product: June 2021 quarter. There is no impact on headline quarterly GDP (production measure of GDP), which remains at an increase of 2.8 percent for the June 2021 quarter.

This error primarily affects estimates for the latest quarter (June 2021 quarter) and impacts on the total and some components of Expenditure on GDP. It was caused by some data being missed in the compilation of central government expenditure. This missing data relates to measuring intermediate consumption by government, and also spending related to Managed Isolation and Quarantine (MIQ). In light of this correction, we have also reviewed our estimates of the change in inventories and have revised this downwards.

As a result, expenditure on GDP (in real terms) was reported to have grown 2.6 percent in the June 2021 quarter while the correct figure was 2.7 percent. The headline measure of GDP (in real terms) remains unchanged at an increase of 2.8 percent in the June 2021 quarter. Expenditure on GDP (in nominal terms) was reported to have grown 4.6 percent in the June 2021 quarter, while the correct figure was 4.3 percent.

Variables that have changed as a result of making this correction are as follows:

Lower-level components:
 

  • Central government expenditure
  • Change in inventories

Higher-level series:

  • General government expenditure
  • Gross capital formation (which includes change in inventories)
  • Gross national expenditure
  • Expenditure on GDP (GDE)
  • GDE per capita
  • Implicit price deflators (IPDS) for general government expenditure and GDE

Gordon Campbell: On Dune 2, And Images Of Islam


Depictions of Islam in Western popular culture have rarely been positive, even before 9/11. Five years on from the mosque shootings, this is one of the cultural headwinds that the Muslim community has to battle against. Whatever messages of tolerance and inclusion are offered in daylight, much of our culture tends to be hostile to Islam when we’re sitting in the dark, with popcorn.
Any number of movie examples come to mind, beginning with Rudolf Valentino’s role (over a century ago) as the romantic Arab hero in The Sheik...
