The National Party says its approach to cyclone and flood recovery will be faster and fairer than Labour's, saying it plans to cut regulations and set up a new ombudsman to deal with issues arising from natural disasters.
Labour leader Chris Hipkins says the proposal is unjustified and says providing support for families and businesses like those affected by Cyclone Gabrielle takes time if it's to be done properly.
National's cyclone recovery spokesperson Chris Penk spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
