The Weekend CollectiveNational says its paid parental leave policy was already in the works, despite recent comments from Stuart Nash accusing one of its MPs of being lazy.
Nash resigned from NZ First after it was revealed he called Napier MP Katie Nimon the “laziest MP” for taking time off to have a baby.
National has today announced, if elected, it'll extend leave entitlements to 30 weeks by 2029, with a longer-term goal of reaching 40 weeks.
Finance Minister Nicola Willis joined Tim Beveridge to explain further.
