in a year published by the Australian Statistician is to be taken to be nil
per cent.

(4) Subject to subsection (5), if at any time, whether before or after the
commencement of this section, the Australian Statistician has published or

substitution for an annual percentage change in the deflator to that quarter
previously published by the Australian Statistician, the publication of the
later annual percentage change is to be disregarded for the purposes of this
section.

(5) If, at any time, whether before or after the commencement of this section,
the Australian Statistician has changed or changes the reference base for the
deflator, then, for the purposes of the application of this section after the

percentage changes published in terms of the new reference base.

(6) If, but for this subsection, the amount to be appropriated during a
financial year would be an amount consisting of a number of whole dollars and
a number of cents, the number of cents is to be disregarded.
