From Morning Report, 7:41 am on 11 September 2023

The National Party is hitting back at criticism its tax cuts will cost front-line services.

It's promising to cut $2.3 billion in bureaucratic spending. CTU economist Craig Renney says services like biosecurity and work on family violence, among others, are on the chopping block.

National's finance spokesperson Nicola Willis says the CTU didn't bat an eye when Labour announced $4 billion in cuts to bureaucratic spending.

Willis spoke to Corin Dann.
