Grant Robertson on supermarket shake up plans

From Morning Report, 7:09 am on 31 May 2022

The Government's plan to shake up the supermarket duopoly has the backing of consumer groups, but will it actually bring down your groceries bills?

Under the changes a grocery sector watchdog will be set up and a mandatory code of conduct will be introduced.

Supermarkets will also be forced to open up their wholesale arms to would-be competitors if they haven't already done so by the end of the year.

The crackdown comes as Labour continues to be hurt by the risingcost-of-living crisis.

Acting Prime Minister Grant Robertson spoke to Susie Ferguson.
