The National Party leader Simon Bridges addresses the media in response to Treasury's claims of a "persistent and deliberate hack" of its systems.

Yesterday National made public what should have been secret budget information, but refused to say where it had come from.

He strongly denied  that the National Party had been involved in any hacking.

"There has been entirely appropriate behaviour from the National Party."
