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.
