Industry expenditure excludes resource development and S&T expenditure refers to industry related programs but not in-house R&D within agencies.
This refers to industry related S&T programs and does not include R&D within government agencies. However, it does include financial assistance for private sector R&D.
S&T expenditure for NSW includes a non-recurrent Treasury allocation of $500,000 for the Funding for Innovation, Research and State Technology program.
Queensland's industry development expenditure excludes $39.83 million for public sector computing and telecommunications included in its industry portfolio budget.
The future here for Tasmania is not comparable with the other mainland states since it includes support for primary and secondary industries and assistance for home buyers. The Tasmanian Development Authority's Annual Report does not distinguish between these sectors but manufacturing represented about ten per cent of the Authority's 1989/90 loans and high technology about 0.1 per cent. This may be indicative of the allocation of the Authority's resources.
This is the sum of The Technology and Industry Development Authority's expenditure on technology development and expenditure from the Technology and Industry Development fund (excluding loans).
Commonwealth expenditure includes the cost of foregone tax revenue from tax incentive programs and grants to industry for R&D.

Throughout this discussion state government S&T activity is confined to industry related programs including the commercialisation of technology, rather than in-hours R&D expenditure. Poor R&D linkages between the Commonwealth and States is discussed in Stewart, 1990, op. cit. It should be noted that recent efforts by the Commonwealth to establish co-operative research centres has been instrumental in attempting to redress this problem in the area of R&D.
Includes higher education.
Includes both private and public sector business organisations. Public sector organisations represent about 16 per cent of the 1978/79 figure and nine per cent of business expenditure in 1987/88. Public sector business R&D is included in Commonwealth expenditure for 1968/69.

All sectors’ include public and private sector expenditure.
