New Zealand First leader Winston Peters says the Finance Minister made an "unfortunate mistake" when she made comments about superannuation during the Budget-lock up.

He also queried whether the concerns about the superannuation were because "you don't know how to run an economy with enough wealth creation."

Nicola Willis said any party that ignores the size of the problem is doing so for its own benefit.

Her comments were a clear dig at her coalition partner NZ First and chief opposition party, Labour, both of which are clear they won't make changes.
