We used the following major assumptions to determine our defined
benefit obligations at 30 June:
(i) The expected rate of return on plan assets has been based on
historical and future expectations of returns for each of the major
categories of asset classes over the subsequent 10 year period, or
longer. Estimates are based on a combination of factors including
the current market outlook for interest rates, inflation, earnings
growth and currency strength. To determine the aggregate return,
the expected future return of each plan asset class is weighted
according to the strategic asset allocation of total plan assets.
