Greens Vow to Break Up Supermarket Duopoly with Publicly Owned 'KiwiMart'

The Green Party has announced plans to break up the supermarket duopoly in New Zealand by setting up a publicly owned supermarket chain called 'KiwiMart'. This move is part of their 'Affordable Kai' policy, which aims to make food more affordable for low-income families. The policy also includes expanding free school lunches to more students. The Green Party believes that the current supermarket duopoly is driving up prices and limiting competition, and that a publicly owned supermarket chain can provide a more affordable and equitable option for consumers. The party has not provided a timeline for implementing the policy, but it is expected to be a key part of their election campaign.
