47  Supply of statistical information by Australian Statistician

 (1) The Australian Statistician must, on request by the Electoral Commissioner, supply the Electoral Commissioner with:
 (a) the statistics referred to in subsection 46(1B); and
 (b) the following information in relation to each of the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory:
 (i) the Australian Statistician's estimate of the net undercount for that Territory at the last Census;
 (ii) the standard error of the measure of that estimate of the net undercount;
 (iii) the upper and lower limits of the 95% confidence interval for the measure of that estimate of the net undercount; and
 (c) any other statistical information that the Electoral Commissioner requires for the purposes of this Division.

 (2) For the purposes of this section:
 (a) the standard error of the measure of the estimate of the net undercount for a Territory at the last Census is the standard error estimate of the sampling error of the estimate of the net undercount as determined by the Australian Statistician; and
 (b) the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval for the measure of the estimate of the net undercount for a Territory at the last Census is the Australian Statistician's estimate of the net undercount increased by a number equal to twice the standard error of the measure of that estimate of the net undercount; and
 (c) the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval for the measure of the estimate of the net undercount for a Territory at the last Census is the Australian Statistician's estimate of the net undercount less a number equal to twice the standard error of the measure of that estimate of the net undercount; and
 (d) the Australian Statistician is to determine the following as population numbers (rather than as percentages or factors):
 (i) the Australian Statistician's estimate of the net undercount for a Territory at the last Census;
 (ii) the standard error of the measure of that estimate of the net undercount.
