Chris Hipkins: Labour Party Leader plans to drive supermarket competition, if elected

View descriptionShare
 

It seems everyone has an idea for supermarket reform 

The Greens have proposed a publicly-owned "KiwiMart", National's proposed separating Foodstuffs ie Pak'nSave and New World into separate retailers.

Today, Labour's proposed Woolworths and Foodstuffs to run their wholesale supply independently from their retail stores - they want to grant Kiwi grocers the right to buy their stock from any wholesaler - free small grocers from their restraints of trade, like anti-competitive arrangements - and ban junk fees charged to suppliers. 

But what do those changes mean, and why is it better than what other parties are offering?

Party Leader Chris Hipkins talks to Tim Beveridge to discuss their plans
