Hi Sally, I’m always amazed at the volume of work you do in an incredibly short time! I hope to have time soon to look carefully at all these interesting calculations and graphs. Since July 2023 the ABS has been publishing 6 monthly 'official' excess death reports in which pandemic data is compared with the prepandemic years 2013-2019. https://www.abs.gov.au/articles/measuring-australias-excess-mortality-during-covid-19-pandemic-until-december-2023

The most recent came out with the PMS that you discuss here (on Friday 28th June). A complex and non-transparent model is used to calculate expected deaths and its drawbacks are discussed in the extensive Australian Medical Professionals' submission to the Senate Inquiry on excess mortality. The Inquiry have yet to publish the AMPS submission on their website. Let's hope they do! https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/Community_Affairs/ExcessMortality47/Submissions
