The Finance Minister is defending the Government's scheme to take GST off fresh and frozen fruit and vegetables.
It's faced criticism from economists and opposition politicians, including a mistake on when the policy would come in- throwing the cost out by $235 million.
There's also questions about exactly what will be left and left out under the system.
Grant Robertson says that shouldn't be a barrier.
"These kinds of decisions about what's in and out in a regime get made all over the world."
