Early Edition with Kate Hawkesby

The Grocery Action Group is unconvinced by a proposal to rapidly add competition to the grocery sector.  The New Zealand Initiative wants the Government to introduce a "fast track pathway" to allow new entrants to enter the market, rather than forcing any break-up of the existing supermarket companies.  It includes streamlining rezoning, consenting and investment clearance processes.  The group's Sue Chetwin told Ryan Bridge it's more of a nice to have.  She says to get more competitors, the government will need to force existing supermarkets to give up some of their stores.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
