    Yes, we recently had a formal govt enquiry into the lack of competition. Not very effective.

    Until a few years ago there was an independent supermarket just down the road. They did very well, but sold to a foreign group that owned a few dozen stores and they just didn’t understand the market here - it collapsed within months.

    Our left wing party just announced a policy for govt owned grocers like mamdani has implemented. However, they have no chance of applying any pressure to govt to implement that.
