Malcolm Turnbull (Wentworth, Liberal Party, Leader of the Opposition) Share this | Hansard source

My question is addressed to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister again to the answer he gave yesterday to a question in which he was asked whether he was telling the House that the growth forecasts upon which the government had relied were not less than the 2.2 per cent forecast by the IMF. The Prime Minister’s response was:

… the most recent data available to the government was about growth with a ‘2’ in front of it …

Did the Prime Minister in formulating the stimulus package rely on growth estimates lower than two per cent and, if so, why did he fail to mention them yesterday?
