Nicola Willis: National's Finance Spokesperson on their proposal to split Foodstuffs in two to drive supermarket competition

from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

National's finance spokesperson is holding firm that breaking up Foodstuffs is the best solution.  If approved by the Commerce Commission, the party would carve off Pak'nSave from New World and Four Square to compete with each other and Woolworths.  Foodstuffs is promising to fight the plan, saying it could increase food prices by making business less efficient.   But Nicola Willis told Mike Hosking it's been a lengthy, analytical process.  She says there's no doubt this restructure would benefit the Kiwi shopper given how unusual our grocery sector is.  LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
