National has made a supermarket break-up a key part of its election pitch, proposing to sever Pak’nSave from New World in a bid to drive down grocery prices.
National’s plan would turn the company into supermarket chains: Pak’nSave, New World/Four Square and Woolworths.
The breakup, however, would be contingent on a six-month review by the Commerce Commission into whether the split would leave shoppers better off.
Wasn’t this effectively the ComCom suggestion from just before the last election?
Not sure, it would make sense if it was.
The Telecom breakup has worked out very well, over the long run that is.
