The Warehouse Group has turned their luck around after the most recent downturn.

It's confirmed an annual net profit of $11.2 million - a far cry from last year's $2.8 million net loss.

Noel Leeming made a 21.8 million profit, and Warehouse Stationary made 15.9 million.

Warehouse Group CEO Mark Stirton says these smaller companies allowed the brand to do the work on the main Warehouse chain - which also had an improved fourth quarter.

National and NZ First have expressed interest in pulling apart Foodstuffs, and the company is looking to fight back.

Foodstuffs recently commissioned consultancy firm Houston Kemp to review the Government-ordered cost-benefit analysis of making the split - with the review claiming the earlier conclusions were 'too good to be true'.

Houston Kemp founding director Greg Houston says the recipe of lower prices, higher costs and wiping out profits doesn't seem 'plausible.'

National says it'll make trans-Tasman travel more 'seamless' if re-elected.

The party is promising to trial fully digitalising airport processes between Australia and New Zealand, so people don't need to show passports.

Eligible travellers could provide details digitally and pass through gates with facial recognition.

Tourism spokesperson Louise Upston says this will make the process faster and encourage more Australians to come to New Zealand. 

"In 2009, when National was last in office, we got the SmartGate technology - and so this is really the next step, which means you don't have to have your physical passport as you're moving through the airport."
