During question time the Prime Minister said that I was quoting selectively the Reserve Bank governor. The quote was:

It was disappointing to us because the bold claim, rather than the more nuanced one, was probably accepted by some members of the community and, if they accepted the bold claim, that indicated that they weren’t aware that we had an independent central bank.

That is the full quote—the one the Prime Minister did not give the House.
