The headline 1.6% counts only residents who named a language other than English. 225 people left the question blank; treat every blank as another language and the figure is 15.3%, while measuring only those who answered gives 1.9%.
Ranked lists skip broad categories such as "Chinese, nfd", which stay in the totals. National figures are summed from suburbs and sit a touch under the ABS release.
