  • ABS still have downloadable reports - if you use a downloaded report format the reference as for a Book. - ie Title in italics.
  • Anything consulted online needs to have URL included.
  • Some elements of the reference may be missing – include as a much information as possible so the reader can find the source.
  • Some statistics organisations are government bodies (eg ABS) so can use reference format of a government report  - remember On a webpage then "Title" (quotation marks) / document downloaded from a webpage then Title (italics).
