98GE  MTAWE result
 (1) For the purposes of step 6 of the method statement in subsection 98GB(2), the MTAWE result is the amount that is 27.7% of the annualised MTAWE figure for the quarter for which the Statistician has most recently published the amount referred to in subsection (2).
 (2) For the purposes of subsection (1), the annualised MTAWE figure, for a quarter, is 52 times the amount set out for the reference period in the quarter under the headings "Average Weekly Earnings of Employees, Australia—Males—All males—Total earnings—ORIGINAL" in a document published by the Statistician entitled "Average Weekly Earnings, States and Australia".
 (3) If at any time (whether before or after the commencement of this section), the Statistician publishes the amount referred to in subsection (2):
 (a) under differently described headings (the new headings); or
 (b) in a document entitled otherwise than as described in subsection (2) (the new document);
then the annualised MTAWE figure is to be calculated in accordance with subsection (2) as if the references to:
 (c) "Average Weekly Earnings of Employees, Australia—Males—All males—Total earnings—ORIGINAL"; or
 (d) "Average Weekly Earnings, States and Australia";
were references to either of the new headings or the new document, or both of them, as the case requires.
 (4) For the purposes of this section, the reference period in a particular quarter is the period described by the Statistician as the pay period ending on or before a specified day that is the third Friday of the middle month of that quarter.
