RADIO NEW ZEALAND: The National Party's industrial relations spokesperson, Kate Wilkinson, has backtracked on her suggestion that the party would scrap compulsory employer contributions to KiwiSaver.
The Government had seized on the comments as proof that National would undermine the scheme.
However, on Tuesday Ms Wilkinson put out a statement saying the employer contributions would be retained.
Earlier in the day, when asked about compulsory employer contributions at an employment relations forum, Ms Wilkinson told delegates that National did not believe in compulsion.
But she now says her comments were wrong and do not reflect party policy.
