Nicola Willis: Finance Minister responds to negative feedback from The Post - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

The Finance Minister's keeping a cool head, despite being the subject of some colourful language in yesterday's papers. 

The Post's Andrea Vance wrote a column on Sunday levelling the c-word at Nicola Willis - as well as Judith Collins, Louise Upston, Nicola Grigg, Brooke van Velden and Erica Stanford in response to the Government's pay equity changes. 

Nicola Willis says she's used to criticism and insults as part of politics, but she's voiced concerns about the implications for other women.

"I always think about other young women who want to go into politics, and I don't want them to think that it's okay to have their gender weaponised against them - and I don't want any young women to think there's a difference between girl maths and boy maths. It's called maths."
