Photo: NZ HeraldLabour has reignited one of the most contentious issues of the 2017 election by accusing National of "basic error" in the costing of its policies. The so-called error is in regards to the savings National would make by cancelling its contributions to the NZ Super Fund. He went on to point out that National's error actually showed that Labour had "quietly cut the Super Fund to reduce debt, which they didn't announce and we missed". "We are surprised, given their criticism of us for suspending payments to the Super Fund." The $4 billion error comes just before National's campaign launch in Wellington.
