Not adjusted for inflation. From FY 2016–17 the Controller’s form splits revenue and spending into many more lines than before, so earlier years carry fewer, broader lines. A gap between revenues and spending is not a surplus or deficit: capital grants, transfers and fund balances move money between years.
