National's associate health spokesperson Shane Reti is at odds with his leader over whether solo parents should be required to immunise their children in order to receive a benefit.
The idea has been floated by the Opposition Party as part of its social welfare discussion document, and Simon Bridges was quick to endorse it.
But just a month ago, National's Shane Reti - the party's associate health spokesperson - was dismissing the idea of a "no jab, no pay" policy, calling it intrusive, and warning it would hugely increase inequity.
RNZ deputy political editor Craig McCulloch spoke to Dr Reti and asked him whether he stood by that position.
