Nicola Willis: Finance Minister responds to criticism over paid parental leave policy
The Finance Minister says changes to paid parental leave weren't in the coalition agreement for the current government.
The National Party is promising to extend paid parental leave to 30 weeks by 2029 if re-elected, with further increases possible if finances allow.
It would also allow parents more flexibility to share, or take leave at the same time.
Nicola Willis told Mike Hosking that the change would be a priority for a National-led government.
