Absolutely.
Yeah, the news yesterday was pretty hard hitting for our sector for sure, and specifically foodstuffs.
There's absolutely a fight to be had.
Our history is full of independent owners coming together to create economies of scale, to be competitive for customers.
So you know our history, we've got more than 100 years of that, and potentially unwinding our business makes us less competitive.
So it potentially undermines us, or will undermine the future of our business, so we have to fight this.
You've been on to the lawyers?
No, no, no.
Look, it's definitely not.
No, this is about New Zealand consumers and getting the best value to them.
Look, Mike, we're retailers.
We turn up every day to trade our grocery stores.
It's not where we play the game.
We play it with our customers daily, offering the best value, the best service we can.
So
We've been on that path for 100 years.
We'll stay on that path, exceeding customers' expectations, and hopefully we will get support from New Zealand through this piece.
Definitely.
The market is heavily regulated now.
So New Zealand has a full oversight of our industry.
