"While the supermarket cartel is absolutely part of the problem, National's 'work programme' is basically 'hope a third party joins the oligopoly and gets in on the gouging'. So they have no real solutions there. And they're certainly not going to do what is necessary: legislate to forcibly break up the cartel and forbid mergers in the sector or its underlying logistics to prevent such accumulation of market power."
