SSJoe denies agreeing with Oaks - "double dipping is fraud"

SSJoe took the bait in the Laurie Oaks interview the other day, and agreed with him that new mothers who "double dipped" were participating in "fraud".

On the Sunday before Mr Hockey handed down his second federal budget, press gallery doyen Laurie Oakes suggested to the Treasurer that parents accessing both the government paid parental leave scheme and their employers' was "basically fraud, isn't it, taking an allowance twice effectively? Who is doing it?"

"Well, it is," the Treasurer said, adding that "it's mostly people who go on parental leave that earn more than $90,000 a year". more

Now he denies he said that, saying he was answering Oak's last question. On The Insiders this morning. Apparently everyone who saw the Oaks interview got it all wrong.

Oh come on, give me a break..... One's things for certain, he certainly didn't jump in and disagree with Oak's fraud comment and correct him on it. He didn't say "Well no it's not". What person in their right mind would not say that SSJoe agrees with Oaks that double dipping is "fraud"? See video below.
