The Mike Hosking Breakfast · Chris Luxon: Prime Minister talks National's supermarket policy, police targets and the public sector · 20 Sep 2026 podcast

You've just got to s voice-verified

You I mean, just if you just take a step back at it, I mean you've just got a supermarket sector in New Zealand that has been over the last twenty five years. voice-verified

Stephen Joyce made that point actually in the article he wrote like last year. voice-verified

He said his family actually was in the supermarket business. voice-verified

And what you saw even twenty five years ago versus what you're seeing today is there's been a lot more consolidation, rightly or wrongly because of the decisions of commerce commissions around different mergers that took place at different times you know over that period of time. voice-verified

But but I just say voice-verified

But speaking from a global experience of having worked in grocery markets in one hundred and ninety plus countries, I I there isn't I can't think of one that has eighty two percent tied up with two plus four percent margin that's available for the three. voice-verified

Okay, so that answers my answer. voice-verified

So voice-verified

been we have done this really thoroughly. voice-verified

You you you were giving us grief for saying, look, you've opened up a conversation on supermarkets and you haven't got a solution to it. voice-verified

Well, actually it's because we're trying to get the right analysis, modelling, and independent um you know appraisal of it. voice-verified

It's not something you rush into. voice-verified

This is why it's supermarket specific. voice-verified

That's why it's delivered through the Grocery Competition Act. voice-verified

Uh and actually we've got as a government, we've got all the analysis that's led to say banners separation. voice-verified

Three nationwide chains competing with each other is actually, we think the benefits outweigh the cost. voice-verified

Now, I've got all that analysis sitting there. voice-verified

Uh, what we're saying is we don't think as politicians just dreaming up where it feels like Labour's going for a policy that actually was rejected by the Commerce Commission, Kiwi Mart's and other sort of intervention, you know, that's very communist and socialist. voice-verified
