$event.target.value not returning as expected

Referencing this, what I have should have worked:

<div ng-show="openGroup == group.id" ng-repeat="member in group.members">
    <ion-item class="item item-accordion item-toggle">
        <h3>{{ member.firstName }} {{ member.lastName }}</h3>
        <label ng-show="member.lead">Lead</label>
        <label class="toggle toggle-positive">
            <input ng-click="toggleClicked(member.id, $event.target.value)" type="checkbox">
            <div class="track">
                <div class="handle"></div>
            </div>
        </label>
    </ion-item>
</div>

When toggleClicked is called, I output the value of $event.target.value. It doesn't matter whether the checkbox is checked or not, the value that is output is always on. I would have thought that once the checkbox is unchecked, the value would be returned as off?

I attempted to create a plunkr for this but it didn't want to work even though the code is correct.

There's an issue with checkboxes and ngClick. This handy SO answer points out that using ngChange instead works, though you'll need to associate it with a model.

In index.html:

<input ng-change="toggleClicked(member.id, member.checked)" type="checkbox" ng-model="member.checked" />
