Family of the Pike River dead are accusing Government of not communicating concerns about "lax" mine safety standards leading up to the explosions that killed their loved ones.

In the wake of the explosions which killed 29 men at the mine in November, Mr Key said he understood New Zealand safety standards matched those of Australia.
