The source article is from motoring.com.au and we all know what that means.
Don't believe anything that's not in direct quotes. They take ambiguous answers and make things up claiming it's direct from the source.
Go back and re-read the motoring article with just the quotes and you'll get a different perspective of what was actually said.
