Treasurer Wayne Swan has taken a swipe at the Opposition Leader for withdrawing money from an investment fund, while claiming the financial crisis had been exaggerated.
Malcolm Turnbull has admitted he took out money from a property fund, just before a number of investment funds put a freeze on withdrawals.
Treasurer Wayne Swan has told 2GB’s Philip Clark, Mr Turnbull was obviously concerned about the economic situation.
“Mr Turnbull, on the one hand, was saying the global financial crisis was overhyped, and on the other hand he was moving his own funds out of the system,” Mr Swans said.
“That tells you something about Mr Turnbull’s double standards.”
