ANZ Head of Australian Economics, David Plank, commented:
“The strong labour market report released last week, with a drop of unemployment rate to 5.6% and underemployment below 8%, didn’t provide the boost to sentiment we might have expected. Confidence did, however, remain above its long-run average, and perhaps the good news on employment offset any fallout from the vaccine disappointment. The opening of the trans-Tasman travel bubble this week has also most likely helped maintain a positive sentiment.”

Margin of Error
The margin of error to be allowed for in any estimate depends mainly on the number of interviews on which it is based. Margin of error gives indications of the likely range within which estimates would be 95% likely to fall, expressed as the number of percentage points above or below the actual estimate. Allowance for design effects (such as stratification and weighting) should be made as appropriate.
