Note: * Share represents industry gross value added as a proportion of Gross State/Domestic Product. Gross value added is the value of output at basic prices minus the value of intermediate consumption at purchasers' prices. The shares presented here are based on volume (i.e. real) estimates of gross value added. (Source:
ABS, Australian National Accounts, State Accounts, 2006-07, Cat. No.
5220.0).
^ Sum of individual
components does not add up to 100 per cent as total Gross State/Domestic Product includes gross value added associated with ownership of
dwellings, taxes less subsidies on products, and statistical discrepancy (all
not shown).
