Through the year to September quarter 2006, tradables rose 4.4 percent and non-tradables rose 3.6 percent. This compares with rises of 4.8 percent and 3.4 percent, respectively, for these components through the year to June quarter 2006.
Through the year to September quarter 2006, the All groups CPI rose in all capital cities with the increases ranging from 3.3 percent in Hobart to 4.9 percent in Darwin.
Price increases in Perth were also high (+4.8 percent). The higher result for Perth was largely due to a 9.3 percent rise in housing, nearly triple the 3.3 percent increase for the weighted average of eight capital cities. Darwin also recorded a rise for housing (+8.3 percent) well above the national average.
At the All groups level, the CPI rose in all capital cities in the September quarter 2006, with the increases ranging from 0.7 percent in Melbourne, Hobart and Canberra to 1.7 percent in Darwin.
Melbourne's result was driven mostly by a lower than average increase in housing, combined with falls in health, clothing and footwear.
The lower result for Hobart was largely due to that city recording falls in transportation, larger than average falls in educationand health, and smaller than average rises in food and housing.
Canberra's result was largely due to falls in transportation, combined with larger than average falls in education and health and smaller than average rises in food.
