Labour Leader Chris Hipkins says a new supermarket competitor won't enter the market without Government intervention. 

It's pledged further action to break the grocery duopoly. 

While details are in the early stages, help with finance, gaining land space, and making regulator changes are on the cards. 

Supie Founder, Sarah Balle, told Mike Hosking that we need solutions for kiwis who live outside of the main centres.  

She said that introducing internationals such as Aldi is unlikely to help kiwis who live in places like Gisborne, Whangārei, Palmerston North, and Hawke’s Bay.
