@iambrieelliott: Nicola Willis says she’s fast-tracking supermarket consents to make groceries cheaper - but here’s the truth: Costco already has consent in Christchurch, and this law doesn’t actually help anyone. For consumers, it changes almost nothing. The real winners are the giants… Foodstuffs, which runs New World, Pak’nSave, and Four Square. Meanwhile, the NZ Initiative, a think-tank shaping policy debates, is part of the conversation politicians reference. Headlines hype Costco as the hero, but this law is all show and no impact. Watch as we break down step-by-step why your groceries aren’t getting any cheaper. #nzpolitics #nzsupermarkets #costoflivingcrisis #thenzinitative #coalitionofcorruption

the “costco is coming to save us” narrative also pmo because if there’s one thing an American corporation is NOT going to do it’s that

I live out West and Costco hasn't really influenced the grocery prices.

Yep don’t believe everything National says, they’re blindsiding everyone and tells everyone something that sounds good but not actually what they’re doing!

No grocery supermarkets on the horizon. More support for the wearhouse.

Willis literally said straight up that Aldi and Lidl weren’t approached as an option. This was never gonna be about *real* competition. It was about empty appeasement.

Interestingly, new world in Opotiki, the only large supermarket, is cheaper than the Whakatane supermarkets.

The cheapest park n save in Nz is the one near Costco. So they do make a difference to pricing. I get what you say about government lobbyists but the reality is they lobby and influence the government no matter which party is in.

That is why national and act should never be in government. They only have the rich and multinational corporations best interests in mind.

And nothing this government does benefits the every day person this government’s primary focus is further feathering the nests of the wealthy

How good would it be if when the government announced things we were actually confident they were going to deliver on said promise and we aren't instead afraid of some sneaky thing they could shoehorn into benefit rich people again.

The problem is the supply chain. They need to be separated them from the store.
