RADIO NEW ZEALAND: National's deputy leader has moved to reassure voters about the party's plans for Kiwibank and Working for Families, after comments he made at the party's annual conference over the weekend.
Bill English was secretly taped saying that National would eventually sell the state-owned Kiwibank; he now says that was "loose language". He says the party has no plans to sell Kiwibank.
Mr English says his comments have caused concern and confusion, and he should not have made them.
In the recorded conversation, he also indicated that National's leader, John Key, did not understand the complexities of Working for Families. Mr English said on Tuesday that he wanted to make it clear those comments were not a criticism of Mr Key.
