Mr BOWEN (McMahon) (14:14): My question is to the Treasurer. Why did the Treasurer say, in question time yesterday, that retail trade grew at 7.4 per cent over the past year when, in fact, it grew at 5.1 per cent? Why did the Treasurer mislead the House? Was the Treasurer being sloppy or dodgy with economic data? The SPEAKER: The member for McMahon knows the rules about irony and sarcasm. However, the question can stand and the Treasurer has the call.
