Inaccurate report on National spending
National Party Finance spokesman John Key says the claim published in a weekend newspaper that a National Government would cut spending by 5% of GDP over three years is wildly inaccurate.
"That was never put to me, and it has never been National Party policy. National will release its tax policy in due course," says Mr Key.
