Retail sales are easing, after strong gains in recent quarters.

Sales were worth $750m in the June quarter.

That's a small increase on last year, but shows a slowing down in the market overall.

The number of sales are also dropping, modest in size compared to the first half of the year.

Online sales are ahead of more traditional retail transactions.

The biggest quarterly decrease has been in the fuel sector.
