EARLY RELEASE OF THE JUNE QUARTER 2007 NATIONAL ACCOUNTS

I have requested the Australian Statistician release the June quarter 2007 National Accounts one day early on Tuesday, 4 September 2007, in view of the fact that meetings surrounding the APEC Summit will be occurring on Wednesday 5 September.

The acting Australian Statistician has agreed to this request and indicated that he will release the June quarter 2007 National Accounts one day earlier, on Tuesday 4 September 2007, at 11.30 am.

The usual Treasurer’s press conference will occur in Canberra on that day.
