A teenage girl has grabbed a budget day souvenir as she interrupted a Joe Hockey press conference.

"I don't want to feel like Kevin Rudd," the treasurer joked to reporters outside Parliament House on Tuesday morning, insisting the photo opportunity was not a set-up.

"Thank you so much, good luck with everything tonight," 16 year-old Anika Buining from Hunter Valley Grammar School told the treasurer after snapping the picture.
