Nicola Willis: National deputy leader rejects accusations she lied about internal tensions within Labour over tax policy - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

National's finance spokesperson Nicola Willis is rejecting accusations she lied about internal tensions among Labour over its tax policy.

Willis claims Finance Minister Grant Robertson and Prime Minister Chris Hipkins had a disagreement over the start-date for Labour's promise to remove GST from fruits and veg.

Robertson denies that's true, but Willis says she was only providing a theory - after Hipkins said he would 'aim' to have the policy in place by 1 April.

"Why were their numbers put out that suggested the policy wasn't going to start until potentially October?"
