Support for National's paid parental leave policy, from at least one business leader.
The party's promising to extend paid parental leave from the current 26 weeks, to 30 weeks by 2029 if re-elected, with further increases possible if finances allow.

She says hiring someone for slightly longer, could make things easier, as it can be challenging finding someone for a short term role.
