The Supermarket duopoly still rules\n\n _Bryce Edwards_\n\n * 🛒 The Commerce Commission’s latest grocery report finds the supermarket duopoly still controls **82% of the market** , unchanged since 2022, confirming a “broken market.”\n * 📊 Despite years of scrutiny, **competition hasn’t improved** , with regulators noting “little observable change” and grocery prices rising **4.6%** over the past year.\n * 😐 Officials, including grocery head Alice Hume, describe the situation as “disappointing,” while supermarkets remain **highly profitable by global standards**.\n * 🔁 Multiple reforms—new laws, a Grocery Commissioner, and attempts to attract competitors—have **failed to reduce market concentration**.\n * 🕰️ Authorities argue reforms need more time, but critics say this signals **inaction rather than real change**.\n * 🏛️ Politicians have debated supermarket reform for over a decade, yet **no meaningful fix has been implemented** , even amid a cost-of-living crisis.\n * 🌹 The political left, particularly Labour, has **largely avoided strong action** , offering criticism but **no concrete policy** to break up the duopoly.\n * 🌱 The Greens have also remained **largely silent** , leaving a gap on an issue tied to inequality and corporate power.\n * 📢 Populist parties like New Zealand First and The Opportunities Party are stepping in, campaigning to **break up the duopoly** and capture voter frustration.\n * 🔄 Labour’s reluctance is framed as **structural** , tied to close relationships with supermarket lobbyists and a “revolving door” between politics and industry.\n * 🧑💼 Figures like Andrew Kirton—a former senior Labour insider now working for Woolworths—highlight **deep connections between the party and the sector**.\n * 🤝 Similar links extend across politics, including figures connected to both Labour and National, suggesting **bipartisan entanglement with supermarket interests**.\n * ⚖️ As a result, the party most expected to challenge corporate power is seen as **unable to credibly lead reform** , leaving voters without a clear champion on grocery prices.\n\n\n\nRead More\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
