Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2001 Week 5 Hansard (3 May) . . Page.. 1531 ..

The multiplier used to estimate the indirect effects of the BRL Hardy proposal was 0.6 (that is, for each unit of output from the project a further 0.6 units of output are generated elsewhere in the ACT economy). This multiplier is a general whole-of-economy multiplier often used by Treasury where the direct outputs involved in a project cover a range of sectors (eg construction, primary production and retail).

6) What is the ACT Input/Output Economic Model used in this project and can the details of this model be provided.

The ACT Input-Output Model was not used in the analysis of this project. For the purpose of the analysis, it was not necessary to identify the specific industries that would be affected by the proposal. The most recent Input-Output Model, based on 1997-98 data, indicates that the multiplier for primary production is 0.56.
