Early Edition on Newstalk ZB

National's promise to keep tax cuts is being criticised.

Finance Minister Nicola Willis has delivered the Budget Policy Statement and reaffirmed the party's commitment to tax relief.

Willis says she's been humbled by how much recent forecasts have deteriorated.

Labour Party Finance spokesperson Barbara Edmonds told Mike Hosking that instead of focusing on the previous Government, Willis should focus on the cards in front of her.

She says when the half year fiscal update was worse than expected, she should have revisited them.
