What I said was that we did not give it the tick. You just quoted the full quote yourself in your question—another own goal from those opposite! That is two in a row: Colin Barnett and Joe Hockey.

He has framed his budget around an exchange rate of 98c next year, when the Reserve Bank and the government are using $1.07.
