Nicola Willis: Finance Minister reveals why she steers clear of sending emails - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

The Finance Minister says she steers clear of emails - following a recent ministerial scandal. 

This follows 1News reports that Erica Stanford sent pre-Budget announcements to her personal email before they were announced last year - one of tens of examples since she's been a Minister. 

Her use of personal email could be a breach of the Cabinet manual - which all ministers are obliged to follow.

Nicola Willis says she's never really sending emails.

"I'm meeting with people face to face or I'm talking to my team and saying - look, could you just make sure that that minister's aware of this. Sometimes we do formal correspondence, letters and the like, but very rarely am I sitting at my keyboard."
