Where did you get the austpop.r? If you got it from the URL I pasted
above, then you shouldn't have this problem. The austpop.R from the URL
does not have what you put above, it is like:
"austpop" <-
structure(list(Year = c(1917, 1927, 1937, 1947, 1957, 1967, 1977,
1987, 1997), NSW = c(1904, 2402, 2693, 2985, 3625, 4295, 5002,
5617, 6274), Vic. = c(1409, 1727, 1853, 2055, 2656, 3274, 3837,
4210, 4605), Qld = c(683, 873, 993, 1106, 1413, 1700, 2130, 2675,
3401), SA = c(440, 565, 589, 646, 873, 1110, 1286, 1393, 1480
), WA = c(306, 392, 457, 502, 688, 879, 1204, 1496, 1798), Tas. = c(193,
211, 233, 257, 326, 375, 415, 449, 474), NT = c(5, 4, 6, 11,
21, 62, 104, 158, 187), ACT = c(3, 8, 11, 17, 38, 103, 214, 265,
310), Aust. = c(4941, 6182, 6836, 7579, 9640, 11799, 14192, 16264,
18532)), .Names = c("Year", "NSW", "Vic.", "Qld", "SA", "WA",
"Tas.", "NT", "ACT", "Aust."), class = "data.frame", row.names = c("1",
"2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9"))
You should source this (and only this) in.
