Cost drivers The services included under other public order and safety are diverse and it is difficult to identify a link between costs and any unique cohort of service users. It is assumed that the costs associated with this expenditure are driven by the population on a uniform basis.

In the intervening years, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population figures are derived from assumptions about past and future levels of fertility, mortality and migration. In the absence of nonIndigenous population figures for these years, it is possible to derive denominators for calculating nonIndigenous rates by subtracting the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population from the total population. Such figures have a degree of uncertainty and should be used with caution, particularly as the time from the base year of the projection series increases.
