National blames Government profligacy for "fragile" economy

National has attacked the Government over the latest GDP figures, saying the economy is in a fragile state thanks to its profligacy. New Zealand is technically in recession, with GDP down for the March quarter by 0.1%, following a fall in GDP of 0.6% in the December quarter. The Government says there's plenty of good news, with inflation having peaked, tourism and immigration bouncing back and primary exports set to hit a record $56.2b by June - 2.3% higher than expected. National's Deputy Leader and Finance spokesperson, Nicola Willis spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
