Leary Ingrid; Rurawhe AdrianINGRID LEARY (Labour—Taieri): Mr Speaker talofa lava on Samoan Language Week. When I look past your shoulder and I see that long seat there I'm reminded of this time around 20 months ago when my dear friend mentor and the former Cabinet Minister and member for Dunedin North the Hon Stan Rodger was sitting there for my maiden speech. It saddens me today. I'd like to acknowledge him in the House his passing this week on behalf of the caucus but also especially on behalf of the Dunedin MPs. Stan was at one time a Minister of Labour Minister of State Services Minister of Immigration Minister for State-owned Enterprises Minister of Railways and Associate Minister of Finance—moe mai rā. But Stan would have loved this Budget because this is a Budget about fairness. There are so many things about it that speak to the core Labour value of fairness. The careful balancing of the needs now with future generations particularly in the climate area. The $1.2 billion of spend to address Māori inequities in health that are undeniable and the health reforms that will see focused attention on our rural areas so that people in my electorate in Taieri—people in Kākā Point Middlemarch Milton Balclutha—won't feel that they are getting the short end of the postcode lottery. The fairness that will help mitigate the regressive impacts of the fuel hikes from the Russian war in Ukraine. Moves such as half-price public transport for community services card holders. I spoke to somebody down at the Dunedin bus station who said he was taking his son out for the first time in months using the half-price public transport to go to the museum. He nearly cried when he spoke to me. That is what this Budget means. One of the things I'm most excited about is the fairness that we are bringing to supermarkets. This is one of the Budget announcements that's landed so well: the dismantling of the duopoly that has been allowed to exist for decades. We know that food prices are up. The supply chain is a stressor so are the overseas stresses that have led to inflation. But we also know that Foodstuffs and Woolworths have 90 percent of market share for main food. They make outrageous profits. When I say outrageous" up to $1 million per day excess. Now that's not revenue or profit but excess profit over what the Commerce Commission would say is fair or appropriate in a properly competitive environment and that's just a conservative estimate. That is money out of the pockets of Kiwis including my constituents in Taieri.Now the Commerce Commission reported on that. That report was actually commissioned by this Government by my friend and colleague the Hon Dr David Clark from Dunedin. He has introduced a suite of laws addressing competition monopolies duopolies and anti-competitive practices. Budget 2022 tackles the root cause of that supermarket duopoly. It stops supermarkets from blocking competitors trying to access land to build new stores. That's a serious move and it has been done with urgency. In fact we sat in this House the day after the Budget to get that law going through the House and it's already at select committee.But Dr Clark has gone further than what the Commerce Commission has reported and recommended. Now how often does that happen? He has rejected the three-year time frame for a review. He wants it done in one year. He is urgently pushing options to get competition into the market. So this Government will be introducing an industry regulator a mandatory code of conduct and compulsory unit pricing so that people can compare unit for unit which makes it fairer for them to be able to see actually what they're purchasing and what it's worth compared to other products and more transparent loyalty schemes so that there is transparency around the data collection and whether shoppers are actually being targeted rather than being given true discounts.So the Minister has put supermarkets on notice. He said to speed up the actions. He has also made it possible—and this is the big one—for the wholesaling to open up so that no longer does the dairy down the road have to buy something at the same price as at the supermarket and then charge on top of that; they can actually now start to compete. That is good for them as well as for us.Look if people don't believe me then they should listen to my former journalist colleague Rachel Smalley who did an excellent report on this on radio: "Thank goodness the Govt has intervened in the supermarket duopoly"—and I quote—"This is what leadership looks like. This addresses what is unfair not in the best interests of the public. More choice. Prices will come down. Groceries will be a more affordable and hooray for that. Good on you for doing that with food Government. For you for me and all of us we will all win from that."DEPUTY SPEAKER: Members it's come time for me to leave the Chair for the dinner break. I will resume the Chair at 7 p.m.Sitting suspended from 6.01 p.m. to 7 p.m."
