Supermarket owners are fighting back as they find themselves firmly in the sights of almost all political parties.

To recap, National and NZ First want to break up the Foodstuffs co-operative, while the Greens want to kickstart a government-owned supermarket.

Labour has announced plans to split Foodstuffs’ and Woolworths’ retail and wholesale arms, alongside measures to ban price gouging.

Now, a concerted campaign from Foodstuffs supermarket owners is underway.

Clare Gallagher from New World Kawerau joins The Front Page to discuss.

Supermarket owners push back against break-up plans

It’s do or die for the Warriors as they head into this weekend’s sudden death match against the Newcastle Knights with a spot in the preliminary final against the Penrith Panthers on the line.  

Last weekend the Warriors seemed in control against the Dolphins before three late tries saw the visitors take the win, denying the Wahs a direct path through to the next round.  
 
Now they have to do it the hard way, and while they may have the hometown advantage, you’d be hard pressed to say they have the homeground advantage.  

Today on The Front Page, we’re joined by NZ Herald sports reporters Nathan Limm and Christopher Reive to look at what went wrong last weekend and what needs to happen at Eden Park on Sunday to keep our grand final dreams alive.

Why it’s championship or bust for the Warriors

Should we put the brakes on AI? 

Well, the bosses of some of the world's largest AI companies say we should. 

Sam Altman and Elon Musk have both backed head of Anthropic Dario Amodei after he came out and said we need to slow the pace of AI development.

He's warned that AI could become capable of "taking over the entire internet" within a year. 

So if the people developing this tech are worried about where we're heading, should the rest of us be worried too? 

Today on The Front Page, University of Auckland professor and director of Huanui – The AI Initiative, Dr Alexander Richter is with us to discuss whether we're moving too fast, and what would actually happen if we slowed things down.
