Seymour defends government efforts to lure new supermarket chain to NZ

oh great, another 'we're trying' announcement. just like the housing crisis and the health system. all talk, no action.

NZ Herald2026-07-13T05:15:55.000Z

Yeah nah get stuffed. We don't need more politicians patting themselves on the back for doing the bare minimum. ffs

Alex Rivera2026-07-13T05:33:55.000Z

honestly if it brings down prices even a little bit i'll take it. duopoly is killing us

Jamie Fox2026-07-13T06:15:55.000Z

Exactly! Something's better than nothing at this point.

Worked in supply chain for years. These big international chains don't just waltz in without massive incentives. Problem is we'll probably end up with a Costco that only has bulk crap nobody needs.

Can someone explain why we can't just get Aldi here already? Everywhere else has it. What's the hold up?

Hayden Kelly2026-07-13T06:28:55.000Z

Seymour's a clown. Acting PM for what, five minutes? And already making promises he can't keep. Classic.

Casey Adams2026-07-13T07:06:55.000Z

lol cope. at least he's trying something unlike the last lot who just sat on their hands.

Morgan Lee2026-07-13T06:40:55.000Z

i'll believe it when i see it. remember when they promised to break up the duopoly? yeah me neither

Alex Rivera2026-07-13T07:11:55.000Z

but even a little competition helps. Look at what happened with petrol prices when Gull showed up.
