Nicola Willis: National finance spokesperson says benefit moves in fiscal budget are a point of principle

Nicola Willis says saving taxpayers' money isn't her party's primary motivation for a plan to index benefits to inflation. She recommitted to the pledge in National's fiscal policy today, which promises less Government spending and less debt. Willis told Heather du Plessis-Allan the benefit moves are a point of principal for National. “That what we owe all New Zealanders is a social safety net – that’s what benefits are there for.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
