So, after all the handwringing, the complaints, the stomping of feet, the Commerce Commission's shooting down talk of an investigation into domestic airfares. Greg Foran and Co. will see this as vindication - validation that, despite the headlines and Consumer NZ's claim the market is quote broken, the reality is their costs have gone up and, surprise surprise, it's expensive to run routes with high fixed costs to small places with few people. So they conclude doing a market study —which is easy politics, it scratches the itch— won't actually achieve anything. And they say it won't lead to consumers getting a better deal. Refreshing honesty. Could the same refreshing honesty not have been applied to the claims about banking/supermarkets/petrol stations, etc, etc, etc? Like most things post-Covid, costs have gone sky high. Airport landing charges - up. Air traffic control - up. Security levies - up. And when you're a business, one owning to the tune of 51% remember, you recoup those costs by putting your own prices up. We don't want them subsidies flights and crashing our business, right? We sold off the national carrier in 1989. We re-nationalised it in 2001after Ansett went bust - that cost us close to a billion bucks. Ansett's problem was high costs and regulation changes - when airlines fail, it gets expensive for taxpayers. Now I don't want to defend an airline charging me $400 to fly for 40 minutes anymore than the next guy. But this is the crux of most of the complaints we hear about through the media. Short flights, regional flights are expensive right now and people don't use them often enough. They use more fuel as a proportion of total flight time because take-off and climbing is when you burn through it - it takes a bit of gas to lift us into the sky. The cost of fuel is a third of operating cost —something Foran can't control— that's more the purview of a Putin or a Sultan. Planes spend way too long sitting on the ground, your costs are higher, and you've got fewer passengers to spread those costs over. Using jets would be more efficient but, again, we don't have the people to fill them. Which is why I said the other day —and it's true but doesn't make it palatable— we're a small country, we pay a price for sparsely populated, beautiful and untouched landscapes. The ComCom does say there's room for improvement, but on the whole, the real enemy here is the politician or talking head who tells us by simply bashing Air New Zealand's head into a wall, they can make Kiwis fly on the cheap.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Whether it be families being able to afford to bring students home from University for the holidays, attending important events or visiting friends. Many kiwis living in the regions say they're cut off - with the cost of flying on our national carrier - simply unaffordable. Scott Koster did the maths and reckons it would be cheaper for his university student daughter to take a bus from Tauranga to Auckland, an Uber to the airport and then fly Jetstar to Wellington. Koster spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.
Auckland Airport is cutting its fees after the competition watch dog found it's overcharging to the tune of almost two hundred million dollars. A final report by the Commerce Commission into Auckland Airport's fees through to 2027 found the airport is targetting excess profit, through aircraft landing and passengers terminal charges. Cath O'Brien from the Board of Airline Representatives spoke to Lisa Owen.
The Commerce Commission says it wants to slash credit card surcharges it says are excessive. The commission's chair John Small joins Kathryn.
The Commerce Commission is slapping criminal charges against supermarkets for inaccurate pricing and misleading specials. The charges will be made separately against Woolworths, Pak'nSave Silverdale and Pak'nSave Mill Street, with the Commission arguing they may have breached the Fair Trading Act. But some consumer watchdogs say the penalty for breaching the act is lacklustre - and that supermarkets make enough profit to get their own prices right. Reporter Maia Ingoe has more.
It's ironic that we mention the Commerce Commission yesterday and here we are today, indulging in a bit more of its madness. Lines charges, the cost of getting power to your house, is going to get more expensive. Your bill will rise for the next handful of years by up to $85. That's over $1,000 a year. Is your power better? No. Do you get more power? No. You just pay more. Why? Because the Commerce Commission decided they are going to let Transpower and local lines companies charge more so they can invest in new infrastructure. They will be allowed to raise just shy of $6 billion. There are a few ironies with this: 1) We also, says the Commission, understand the importance of incentivising business to invest and improve and meet consumer demands. What?! You don't think they would charge this and more if they could? And what incentive? Transpower are a monopoly. They have no incentive to improve anything. 2) The $6 billion is way more than it should be. What should it be? Under $3 billion. Why? Because 55% of what Transpower is doing is because of higher inflation and interest rates. And what is 55% of $6 billion, roughly? Now, how did we get those? That's right - Adrian Orr. If you want yet another tangible example, as the Labour Government and Adrian Orr years of incompetence roll on, then here you are. $3 billion worth, that is for nothing other than admin and fees. Stuff that should not have happened if the approach in Covid hadn't been as grandiose and wasteful and plain idiotic. More inflation than we ever needed, leading of course to interest rates we shouldn't have had to try and bring back to Earth, entirely as a result of the Covid approach that crippled the country. Yes, there are plenty of intangibles like morals, behaviours, mental health and school attendance. But we are also paying Transpower $6 billion to do what they should have done anyway. Awesome economics in an awesome economy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
I think at times the Commerce Commission has an easy job in the sense it starts out life, in appearance anyway, as being on “our side. "Our” side being the people's side. We need a hero, a protector to keep the big bad boys away from our lives and wallets. Lately though, they look like they might have a large legal budget that someone has told them to spend or else they will lose it. So out come the lawyers to take on Starlink over their claims about being able to text anywhere in the country. This case looks literal. You can't say you can text from anywhere if I can literally find a place where you can't. The room for adult interpretation appears to be devoid of presence in this case. Then we get to Foodstuffs, who are to appeal a ruling by the Commerce Commission on its merger. The interesting bit about Foodstuffs is that they unfortunately are a supermarket, and supermarkets are hated because they sell stuff at prices we have decided are too high. They are in the same category as banks, telcos, petrol stations, and airlines, who are all out there to rip us off, bleed us dry, and generally make life miserable. Foodstuffs have two bits in the North Island and the South Island. They want to join the two bits together. From a business perspective it makes perfect sense because you are playing with scale and scale is generally good. But scale also reduces numbers in the market, and it may well reduce competition. Where we appear a bit stuck in this country is that very fine and, quite probably, indefinable line between letting people get on with business, creating an environment in which business prospers, more businesses wanting to open, and killing business by over regulating it, driven in part by fear over lack of competition and the punter being ripped off. What will be interesting is whether Foodstuffs can argue their case on fact, or on what clearly is an overarching zeitgeist. The banks appeared in front of the Government committee into banking. They made a very plausible and reasonable case around their profits. It will make no difference though because the Government doesn't want to hear it. Maybe Foodstuffs are the same. What is a decent price? What is a decent margin? What is the choice for a punter who sees a can of beans at a higher price in one place, so goes elsewhere? Is a court even required if the zeitgeist around business and its success is predetermined, whether sensibly, logically, or not? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Foodstuffs North Island chief executive Chris Quin has confirmed that the company will appeal the decision by the Commerce Commission to block its proposed merger. Speaking on Newstalk ZB this morning, Quin said the company's advisers had been working their way through ComCom's reason for the decision for the last few weeks. “The biggest concern in the document seems to be about whether suppliers would be worse off as a result of the co-op merging between the North Island and South Island,” Quin said. “Our internal teams have the view that we passed that legal test and that the proposition we put up should have been cleared.” Foodstuffs will appeal the decision in the High Court and expects to have officially filed its appeal by November 21. Quin reiterated Foodstuffs' position that the two regional co-operatives in the North and South Islands don't compete with each other in any way. He said that if the co-operatives were merged it would make them “incredibly more efficient”. On the suggested impacts on suppliers that ComCom posited, Quin said he briefed hundreds of suppliers after the decision last month. “We get a lot of conversation with them almost every day on meeting with one or other and the advantages for suppliers would be dealing with one not two,” Quin said. “The possibility would be you could do a deal to be nationally ranged, so we see a number of advantages for suppliers.” He believed a merger would allow Foodstuffs to make prices much more competitive, ultimately benefiting consumers. Mary Devine, chief executive of Foodstuffs South Island, also said the merger woujld bring long-term benefits to customers and communities, citing increased efficiency and faster innovation. “Combining our operations allows us to streamline operations, reduce overheads and better invest in new technology and services that our customers want,” Devine said. “This isn't just a merger - it's an evolution to ensure we remain competitive and sustainable for the future.” The original decision Now that Foodstuffs has confirmed its appeal, the process will likely be a lengthy one. Foodstuffs North Island and Foodstuffs South Island operate some of New Zealand's best-known supermarket banners – New World, Pak'nSave and Four Square – and while each retails only in its respective island, the companies already collaborate across various business areas, including marketing and home-brand purchasing. Their combined revenue was nearly $13 billion in the last fiscal year. In their application to the commission for clearance to merge, the parties essentially argued that they do not compete at either the retail or wholesale level and they would be more efficient and better equipped to drive down grocery prices as a single streamlined entity. However, the commission was not convinced the benefits of such an arrangement would flow to customers and moreover, its main concern was that a merger would reduce the number of buyers in the “upstream market” for grocery supply from three to two – this market is currently dominated by the two Foodstuffs entities and Woolworths NZ. In its decision, the commission noted that this reduction would be a structural change and would likely lessen competition in multiple acquisition and retail markets. It also emphasised that competition in the country's highly concentrated grocery market was already weak.

Grocery Commissioner Pierre van Heerden wants a third supermarket competitor to set up shop in New Zealand in order to tackle the country's supermarket duopoly, but reducing the barriers to entry won't happen overnight.“What we've been told by these players is when they come and they want to open up a large store in New Zealand, the cost to get a spade in the ground is double that of Australia,” he says in a new episode of the Of Interest podcast. “Now that is significant. And when they look at 'do we open up a store in Wagga Wagga or Tamworth or wherever in Australia' versus coming to open up in Auckland where there is massive demand or any of the other centres, really, the cost is double that of Australia. And the timeframe often is more than double as well. So when they do their business cases, they look at that and say, 'well, we're going to be better off by going elsewhere rather than here.' Now the government is saying that they're going to change things to make New Zealand more competitive for international players. And that's really what we're looking at.”The Commerce Commission released its first annual grocery report on Wednesday which revealed ComCom's efforts to boost grocery competition over the past year hasn't had much impact. The report found between 2019 and 2023, price-cost margins on non-fresh products across the New World, Pak'nSave, and Woolworths brands increased by 3.1 percentage points on average, while fresh food margins rose a lesser 0.4% on average.The Commission defines price-cost margins as a measure of the difference between the price a firm receives for the sale of an item and the direct supply costs incurred.Broken down, the price-cost margins for non-fresh products in that period rose the most at Foodstuffs North Island's New World stores which reported a 3.9 percentage point increase in that period.In second and third, Woolworths NZ's Countdown stores, now renamed back to Woolworths, reported a 3.6 percentage point increase, and Foodstuffs South Island reported a 2.9% percentage point increase during 2019 and 2023.The consumer watchdog said the report provided “clear evidence for stronger action” in NZ's $25 billion grocery sector.Speaking on the Of Interest podcast, van Heerden says the Commission wants to make sure the barriers to entry are reduced enough to make NZ's supermarket sector more competitive. Barriers to entry for potential new supermarket hopefuls also include things outside the Commission's control like planning regulations including zoning requirements within the local council's District Plan, and the resource consent process in some cases. The Overseas Investment Act 2005 can also create additional costs, delays and uncertainty in relation to site acquisition by overseas entities looking to enter or expand in the New Zealand grocery industry, van Heerden says.Asked if a giant entity would be needed to enter NZ's supermarket sector – which is currently controlled by Woolworths NZ and Foodstuffs – as a third entrant or if a smaller grocery player could work as well, van Heerden says it can be a combination.“We would like to see someone who can come in and has the scale to do it nationally, because that's the way they're going to get the best prices from suppliers. You know, they can get good trade spend or discounts in their stores as well. Because when I look at Auckland as an example, in Auckland, the concentration or the market share of the major supermarkets has come down by 4% from 74 to, I think it's 70%. What has caused that – Costco coming into the market. A lot of the Asian supermarkets are growing and we've just seen Foodies open and they sold out from what I've seen, you know, four weeks' stock in three days,” he says.“So consumers are anxious and they want to get better deals and they will support these players. But I want to see that same level of competition out in the smaller areas. And if a big player comes in and as in Australia, a hard discounter where they really give very good prices, I think that will shake up the industry and it will ensure that the big players are more competitive.”Van Heerden says the supermarkets have “said all the right things” when contributing to the Commission's work on the grocery sector“If you look at the comments that both the major supermarkets have brought out since the report came out, they all say they work, they work with us, they support the objectives. But I want those words to change into actions. I want to actually see it happening. I look at, for instance, the refund policies and the pricing issues. We've raised that now with them since I started. And quite honestly, the response has been, 'yes, we're getting it done,' but the actual actions have been slow. So I'd like to see them ramping up those actions and letting their actions be the same as what they're telling us, that they're happy to work with us to get things done,” he says.The Commerce Commission's grocery report can be found here.*You can find all episodes of the Of Interest podcast here.
We're going a little bit back to the future today because the annual report card into the grocery industry came out yesterday, and we were overrun with health talk. So we'll go back to that report and look at the ramifications for the industry, for the suppliers, and for us, the consumers. So according to the report, we are paying higher prices, specials are confusing, and loyalty schemes aren't delivering overly significant rewards. Paying $10,500 for a glass container isn't really enough in terms of loyalty (if you're collecting the stickers from New World, you'll know what I mean). According to the ComCom's first annual grocery report all major supermarkets experienced an increase in price cost margins, which means retail prices were increasing faster than the cost of the goods. Those wanting to enter the market are not finding it easy. Despite 150,000 members signing up to Costco by March, Costco still suffered a $20 million loss. Restrictive land covenants were hampering new entry for new players and existing ones. The Commission has already prosecuted Foodstuffs North Island for historical abuses, grabbing land and holding on to it so nobody else can build there. We also saw alternative grocery shopping places like Huckleberry shut down – that's been around forever and that's been placed into liquidation. Online retailer Supie failed, Bin Inn closed 5 stores, so it's tough, it's a tough market out there. And it's tough for Foodstuffs and Woolworths too, I'm sure. They've had to pay increased costs, and security guards, and thefts and the like, it has not been easy for them. They've had to look after their staff, who face relentless barrages of abuse, and probably this report card won't help. So, it's not an easy industry to be in right now. It's a much, much tougher one to get into if you want to. While the number of covenants around land had decreased, the Commission has expressed concern at the more than 100 properties currently owned by major retailers that are not being used for stores, with no immediate plans to put a supermarket there. The Commissioner said, well, yes, I suppose some of these properties could be used for car parks or storage, but they certainly included potential expansion sites when properties held for more than 20 years were considered. Sue Chetwin from the Grocery Action Group, told Ryan Bridge on Early Edition that the government needs to show its teeth if we want to see any significant change to the market. “All of the rules that they've put in place, all very well meaning, but have not worked. They have really just tinkered around the edge, so unless you make some structural change to encourage competition or to allow competition to happen, then we're just going to get more of the same.” Yeah, and that's the thing. There was a Commerce Commission report, there were some prosecutions, the duopoly of Foodstuffs and Woolworths were put on notice, and nothing happened. If anything, it's got slightly worse. So the government is interested in turning up the heat, Commerce and Consumer Affairs Minister Andrew Bayly says he plans to seek advice on the sites currently being land banked, alongside broader regulatory reviews that could lead to potential change, including the Overseas Investment Act and the Fair Trading Act. What about the concerns of suppliers? We've looked at consumers and said, yep, you're paying more than you need to for food, even taking into account seasonal fluctuations, even taking into account everything's more expensive, what the report says is that the increase in price cost margins has given them a greater profit than they needed to have. The report says a monthly index of suppliers prices produced by Informetrics for Foodstuffs North Island and pumped out to the media —in fact it was referred to in the press release following the release of the ComCom report yesterday— has consistently failed to include the impact of so-called trade spend, the impact of rebates, discounts, and payments that run to billions of dollars annually on the prices supermarkets actually pay to their suppliers. The report stopped short of calling this lying, Business Desk said let's settle for embarrassing. So what does this all mean? We are a very small country. We're not even as big as most cities in the United States, so anybody who's interested in coming here from overseas has to know that they'll make a profit. Even if the government arranged for a prime piece of real estate in the middle of Auckland, New Zealand's biggest city, and earmarked it for an overseas player and said come, haere mai, haere mai, this land is yours, put your supermarket up there, fill your boots. I'm not entirely sure they'd make a profit. It's a huge investment. It's a huge investment in building up relationships that cannot happen overnight with suppliers. It takes time, and the reason that Foodstuffs and Woolworths are so successful is that they are old companies. They're very old. Certainly with Foodstuffs when you trace their whakapa back, they are part of the landscape back to the 60s. So this has taken time to build, to get into this position of strength. And while there might be huge players overseas, they don't have that network of contacts, that history, that the others do here. It's got to be worth their while. They've got to know that they're going to make money if they up sticks and invest here. How likely is that? Is there any real likelihood of a third player? What's it going to take to get real competition? Is it going to take a coalition government that really doesn't like regulation?

The Commerce Commssion's final report into the personal banking sector's found there's a lack of obvious and aggressive competition among the big banks, with no disruptive maverick. It nominates Kiwbank to play that role - but says it needs more capital to do that and the government should explore options. The Finance Minister said the big four foreign owned banks are making extremely high profits at New Zealanders expense, Finance Minister Nicola Willis speaks to Lisa Owen.
ANZ's chief executive believes New Zealand's banking system is competitive. The Commerce Commission's market study found there's little competition between the big four banks, and they take high profits by international standards. It recommends open banking and giving Kiwibank access to more capital, to better compete and become a disruptor. Antonia Watson told Mike Hosking they don't agree with the ComCom's characterisation of the sector. She says their staff are fighting every day to win and retain customers, so back themselves that it's a competitive industry. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Big report day for big issues. Report Number One: The ComCom and the business of banking. The market doesn't work, more banks would help, how to get more banks? How to get less regulation, how to get better deals for the customer? Firstly, don't hold your breath. The ComCom has looked into power and petrol and banking – not a lot changes. Nicola Willis didn't help yesterday morning when she said in response to a perfectly legitimate question about lending practices, that a bank CEO had said they “weight farms differently from houses in terms of risk”, Willis said well they can tell that to the select committee. Which as far as I could work out means nothing, given I'm sure they will. Then when asked about the banking lobby being powerful, she said “they may be powerful but democracy is more powerful”. Once again, it means nothing. What she was avoiding was the question ‘will you legislate', and she was avoiding that because she is not legislating. The same way the previous government made a lot of noise about supermarkets and petrol but were never going to legislate either. Instead, what we got was a sign on the footpath showing the 98 price and a Grocery Commissioner who so far is limited to press releases. Here is your trouble: we have a lot of banks, we just don't use them. We can switch banks, we chose not to. Yes, the rules the Reserve Bank has in place to make banks hold money could be changed, some of the regulation could be changed, but will it materially fix the market? No. This, as I always say, is not to defend banks. Banks are highly profitable. Their margins are higher here than Australia. But the mistake that is made almost every time, whether its banks, supermarkets, petrol stations, or telcos, is the hype never plays out in reality. The jawboning gets the headlines, the action fades into obscurity. Let's talk in a year, and you can show me how fundamentally different the New Zealand banking scene is. Or not.

The Commerce Commission says shoppers are likely to be losing millions of dollars a year due to supermarket pricing errors. Grocery commissioner Pierre van Heerden has called them out for times when the price on the label doesn't match what you end up paying at the counter. He believes when that happens they need to give you the product for free. Head of research and advocacy at Consumer NZ, Gemma Rasmussen, told Heather du Plessis-Allan it should be the role of the commission to be looking into the pricing discrepancies. She says 65% of shoppers are noticing pricing inaccuracies when they go to the supermarket and about 12% are spotting them frequently.

An inquiry into New Zealand's banking competition, or lack thereof, is currently underway. Finance Minister Nicola Willis announced it in June, putting particular emphasis on rural banking and lending. A ComCom market study has already, unsurprisingly, found a lack of competition among our largest financial institutions – with a full report due next month. So, what does it all mean for the average Kiwi consumer – and is there hope on the horizon for some healthy competition? Today, Victoria University of Wellington associate professor of economics Martien Lubberink takes us through the state of our banking sector, and ABC journalist Dan Ziffer explains what lessons could be learned from Australia's massive Royal Commission into Banking.

As emails keep hitting the inbox—or the letters hitting the letterbox if you're still supporting the postal system—telling us of price increases for all sorts of things. From the cost of our energy, to insurance premiums, to our favourite streaming service, we're all still keeping a close on our household budgets and doing what we can to try and keep them under control. So, how far do you go to make sure you are paying the best price for petrol? For those of us who do not live somewhere with accessible or reliable public transport, or don't have the guts to put our lives at risk and get on a bike, or can afford an EV, we are at the beck and call of petrol companies and what they can charge us to fill our vehicles. Now the Commerce Commission is getting in on the act. Their latest analysis of fuel monitoring data shows retailers are quick to put fuel prices up in response to increased costs, but slower to bring prices down when global oil prices fall or exchange rate changes reduce costs. It's known as the rocket and feather approach: prices rocket up with increased costs but float down slowly when those costs decrease. They have estimated that if fuel companies drop prices as quickly as they increase them when costs change, motorists would benefit by around $15 million a year. Now that is quite considerable and worth keeping an eye on. But what can the Commerce Commission really do about it? There have been some changes already... BC: What's actually changed is that companies like Waitomo and Gull can now more readily get fuel at more reasonable prices. And we've seen that, they've been much more able to open stations than was the case in the past, and that is driving down prices for Kiwi motorists. So we've got evidence that it is working. MH: How much does the punter play a part in this? In other words, if I wanted to put a bit of energy into it, get a Gaspy app, shop around, there's, there's plenty of competition and there's plenty of price variability? BC: Yep, especially in a place like Auckland. Look, Terry Collins from the AA has been talking about that in the last day or so, he's absolutely right. If everyone shops at the lowest priced station, the others are going to have to match. Now it's important to note that there is no suggestion of collusion here – or illegal practices, these are large corporates operating in a supply and demand market. There is competition between them – but often the consumer determines as to whether they need to act on that competition. So do you? Do you use your GASPY app? Do you make an effort to go to the cheapest local station around? Are you doing your bit to inform the petrol companies that you understand the choice you have? I don't think the Commerce Commission will be able to do much about this—much like the supermarket situation—except say they will be keeping an eye on things. Terry Collins, the AA Principal Policy Advisor, spoke to Heather du Plessis-Allan last night saying it is a warning to the fuel companies. TC: I mean, this is a classic shot across the bow by the Commerce Commission, but I've been talking to contacts within the industry and they're very keen because of the optics on it, not least by the media and by the Commerce Commission to ensure that the Auckland Motorists get their full 11.5 cents discount or rebate, the decrease in price, come 1 July. I know one of the large major's got a big team working on it, trying to get it done by midnight. On that day, it comes into effect across all these stations. Of course, the big test of the ComCom warning, and consumers power will be in Auckland when the fuel tax is removed from the 1st of July. Aucklanders will expect their gas to be 11.5 cents cheaper immediately, wouldn't you? The attention from the Commerce Commission is good. It's a reminder to us all to use whatever power we have, but it's up to us to make an impact that will help us out at the pumps. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hefty profits, virtually no real competition and weak incentives to do better. That's a snap shot of the banking sector according to a draft market study from the Commerce Commission. It concludes a disruptor's needed to shake the sector up and force some aggressive competition, because consumers are missing out. But it warns Kiwibank is not big enough to force the change needed. Massey University's Professor David Tripe speaks to Lisa Owen.
The Commerce Commission has released an interim report on its market study into personal banking services.
The Commerce Commission says the banking sector needs more competition.
The Commerce Commission says the banking sector lacks competition. Its study has found a two-tier system with the four major banks having an apparent focus on maintaining profits, resulting in stable market shares, high profits, and an underinvestment in their platforms. Herald Wellington Business Editor Jenee Tibshraeny told Kerre Woodham that the Commission says if we give a smaller bank, Kiwibank, more capital, it can grow. She says the problem is the Government's trying to tighten its purse strings, so any money it gives Kiwibank will be questioned. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Banks. They're a nice, big, slow moving target, so it's pretty easy to throw mud and have at least some of it stick. Right now, with higher interest rates and more importantly fat margins between what they pay us for our deposits, and what we pay them for our mortgages. The sun is shining for the Banks and they're making' hay. And the numbers are pretty big. Westpac's most recent result was $1.16 billion for the year, up 12 percent. ANZ was at $2.3 billion and increased of 20, yeah 20, percent. You're probably aware from what we've heard his past few days, that if you shop around you don't have to pay the published mortgage rate. If you tell them such and such bank down the road is offering a fraction less, you'll be surprised how quickly they'll drop their pants. Same too, by the way, with term deposits. Rather than just let those roll over, you simply have to ask and they'll grudgingly give you a little more. Not much, but it's the principle of the thing. So are the banks being greedy. Well, yes, of course they are. That's their job. I jokingly said to one bank manager a while back, 'hey...I'm in a bank...I expect to get robbed'. He was affable enough to see the joke. Would a ComCom investigation do anything to make us feel better about the Banks or do anything to reduce the profits they make? I doubt it. Have ComCom probes made any real difference at the supermarkets, at the gas station, with the power retailers? No. If the Government feels the urge to do something useful maybe it could impose a few rules around their social license. Things that actually drive us mad day to day like how long they take to answer the phone, or deal with an email, or even - how's this for radical - like obliging the banks to actually have branches people can go into. The bottom line is - I don't mind paying for a service if I'm actually getting a service. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The OHBM Communications Committee, otherwise called ComCom, was created in 2015 to address the growing need to enhance communication between the society members and leadership. It has rapidly grown, both in number of members and in its reach and impact, fostering a presence in social media, establishing a website and a blog, increasing connections to lay media, and recently, starting up and putting in the time to support the podcast OHBM Neurosalience. In general, communication is so absolutely fundamental in science and in any organization. The quality of how information is captured and disseminated directly determines the vibrancy of a field and community. ComCom has been doing a tremendous job. This conversation touches on all the aspects of what ComCom does and the impact of their efforts. In this episode, some of the challenges, the types of communication that ComCom fosters, its outreach to lay media, and how such committee receives feedback to guide and focus its efforts, were discussed. Guests*: Elizabeth DuPre, Ph.D. is a new post doc at Stanford University. She completed her PhD in Neuroscience at McGil University where she worked on improving inter-individual comparisons with functional alignment and naturalistic stimuli. She is the current chair of ComCom.

Stephanie Forkel, Ph.D. is a group leader at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition, and Bahavior, in the Netherlands. Her team is studying anatomical variability and language recovery. She received her Ph.D. in NeuroImaging from the Department of NeuroImaging in Kings College London and carried out a post doc at University College London. Kevin Sitek, Ph.D. is a research scientist at the University of Pittsburgh. His research focus is subcortical systems as they relate to sound, communication, and language processing. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University Program in Speech and Hearing Bioscience and Technology, and carried out his post doc at Baylor College of Medicine. He is currently the Blog team lead. Nils Mulhert, Ph.D. is a Lecturer at the School of Psychological Sciences, University of Manchester, UK. His research is focused on brain structure correlates of memory and impulsivity, and how these forms of cognition are affected in clinical disorders, such as epilepsy and multiple sclerosis. He received his Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Sheffield, and carried out two post docs at UCL and then Cardiff University. He is also a past chair of ComCom.

Pour Frédéric BIERRY, son Président, les défis à relever sont énorme, dans un contexte particulièrement perturbé… Il s'inquiète d'ailleurs du comportement de certains élus, on l'écoute. Il sera également question de la stratégie d'efficacité énergétique à mettre en œuvre par la collectivité avec plusieurs mesures d'urgence, et un plan « 30 engagements pour 2030 » ! Les dépenses liées à l'énergie explosent, et notamment en ce qui concerne le gaz qui augmente de 465% en un an. De 12 M€ de dépenses en 2021, la collectivité va débourser 55 M€ en 2022. Pour Frédéric BIERRY, il faut reprendre la main sur la production des énergies, s'appuyer sur les ressources des territoires, et limiter la dépendance aux grands fournisseurs.

Sujets traités : Des projets face à la situation tendue des périscolaires dans la Communauté de communes de Sélestat. Malgré le nombre d'élèves scolarisés en baisse, ces établissements d'accueil, eux, ne désemplissent pas. Au contraire. Alors que plus de 1 600 dossiers sont enregistrés chaque année et que la demande ne cesse d'augmenter, la collectivité tente d'ouvrir de nouvelles places tous les ans. Pour cela, plusieurs projets sont actuellement en cours, comme le précise Christine Wolfersperger, vice-présidente de la Comcom en charge de l'enfance.

Sighs of relief in some quarters after the Commerce Commission report on building supplies came out.ComCom says competition isn't working as well as it could in the sector and a lot of people in the industry said…er...tell us something we didn't know.ComCom also raised the issue of rebates; big volume buyers get a better discount, but is there anything too surprising about that?If you were a big buyer, you'd expect a better price too wouldn't you?There are some comments about restrictive land covenants and exclusive leases, these sound a lot like what we heard in the supermarket report.But overall, the message from this lengthy probe seems to be, you know what, there's nothing much to see here.So has the ComCom missed the glaringly obvious, or are there reasons we pay so much more for building stuff than the Aussies do?People often take pot shots at the bigger companies, with the supermarkets it seems justified as some of their conduct has been appalling.But is it the same in construction?If so, this report hasn't found it.And surely the very nature of a business is that it wants to grow, either by expanding into new markets, or exporting, or coming up with new products, or buying smaller competitors.Funnily enough, it was only last week that ComCom OK'd Fletcher buying up another half a dozen building products stores, and a frame and truss manufacturing plant.So it's obviously not concerned about a large company getting larger.Perhaps the real problems in construction have more to do with incompetent government departments and unwieldy regulations.We've seen it with the Gib crisis; it's not the fault of the few giants dominating that market.It's more about the regulators making it nearly impossible for new competitors to get a foothold.Regulators who, of course, have a monopoly on rule-making.Perhaps ComCom could achieve more if it looked at the competence, or lack of it, in some of those office towers in Wellington.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Not sure how much of a difference these new wholesale channels are going to make to competition in the grocery sector.My sense is that what it'll do, if anything, is maybe give the dairies a bit of a break and a chance to increase their margins a smidge.But when it comes to the main weekly shop, that's still going to go to one of the big chains.I slipped into one for a few tins of dog food and what have you yesterday walked out 186 bucks lighter, they've still got it pretty much sewn up.Will wholesaling address the power imbalance in the grocery sector or just allow the incumbent duopoly to tighten their grip?And will it hurt the existing cash and carry operators? Your Gilmours and the like, or cause them to focus more those 80 litre buckets of oil.There's no question the ComCom report has caused a bit of a commotion, and shaken things up.And it's also confirmed some of the sharp practices that were going on to squeeze suppliers, that we've known about anecdotally for quite a while.Ultimately though, to really shake things up we need a big and aggressive new entrant to the market.Is that Costco? Well, no, not for that crucial weekly shop it's not, it's a totally different bulk-buying business model.What's needed is a new discount chain like and Aldi, or Lidl, with big deep pockets to set up its own distribution and everything else that goes on out the back.And with a population of five million to serve over a land area larger than the UK, with 60-odd million people, neither of those chains sees a buck in New Zealand just yet.
Sujets traités : Plus que quelques jours avant le premier tour des élections législatives, qui se tient ce dimanche 12 juin. Un scrutin souvent mis de côté, mais qui permettra de définir la politique à venir. Dans la 5ème circonscription du Bas-Rhin, celle de Sélestat-Erstein, Véronique Toulza est la candidate investie par la Nouvelle Union Populaire Ecologique et Sociale. Son objectif est clair : avoir une majorité de députés et contraindre Emmanuel Macron à avoir une politique de gauche. SMIC à 1500€ net, mise en place du référendum d'initiative citoyenne, ou encore blocage et réduction des prix des produits de première nécessité font partie de son programme. Dans la 2ème circonscription du Haut-Rhin maintenant, du côté de Ribeauvillé-Guebwiller, Nathalie Aubert, suppléée par Thomas Estève, se porte candidate pour le Rassemblement National. Elle nous détaille les principaux axes de son programme. On l'écoute. Retrouvez ces deux entretiens dans leur intégralité sur notre site azur-fm.com, dans la rubrique élections législatives. L'artisanat à l'honneur ce week-end ! Ce dimanche 12 juin, des portes ouvertes, au sein des ateliers de certains artisans du secteur, vous sont proposés par la Communauté de Communes de Sélestat. Les précisions de Robert Engel, vice-président de la ComCom en charge de l'attractivité du territoire. Toutes les informations sont à retrouver sur le site artisanat.alsace. Un mot de handball avec le SAHB qui crée la surprise à Dijon. Ce week-end, les Sélestadiens ont été sacrés champions de Proligue à l'issue du Final Four. Les Violets l'ont d'abord emporté face à Ivry, favoris et premiers du championnat, 28 à 33, puis face à Cherbourg, 36 à 30. Ils retrouveront donc la Starligue, l'élite française de handball, la saison prochaine.
C'est déjà le troisième budget de la mandature, qui a été présenté ce jeudi 31 mars au conseil municipal de Sélestat. Au total, ce sont 44,3 millions d'euros qui seront engagés par la ville au cours de l'effectif 2022. Une année qui sera également marquée par un investissement record. Ecoutez la réaction de Charles Sitzenstuhl face à la fin de non-recevoir de la Communauté de Communes de Sélestat, concernant l'absence de financement du projet Charlemagne. Le budget de la collectivité avait alors fait l'objet d'une opposition de la majorité sélestadienne. Une première pour ces 30 dernières années.

The country's third largest grocery company says the Commerce Commission isn't taking tough enough action against the supermarket duopoly. The commission recommended making more land available for new stores and improving access to wholesale supply for smaller retailers. Night 'n Day is a Dunedin-based convenience store network, with over 50 franchise stores across the country. Its general manager Matthew Lane thinks the recommendations only protect the status quo. He spoke to Susie Ferguson.
Should we be giving lethal aid to Ukraine or should we stick with humanitarian aid? Foreign Affairs Minister Nanaia Mahuta this morning ruled out military aid. Are the Comcom's recommendations going to make supermarket shopping cheaper for people? Is the government underestimating the momentum around the "cost-of-living crisis"? The Roy Morgan poll. Rugby bosses want to be able to have crowds back and are asking how much longer do we have to be in Red? Is it time we reviewed the rules again? David Farrar and Matthew Tukaki joined Andrew Dickens to talk this and the rest of the news. LISTEN ABOVE

Sujets traités : - Une tribune pour la sortie du Grand Est. Elle a récemment été rédigée et signée par 60 jeunes alsaciens, issus de tous horizons, de tous bords politiques, engagés ou non dans des mandats locaux, et fait écho à la grande consultation citoyenne lancée en décembre par la collectivité européenne d'alsace. On en parle avec Victor Vogt, maire de Gundershoffen et conseiller d'Alsace. Pour les signataires, l'objectif est d'informer les jeunes, mais également les moins jeunes, de l'existence de cette consultation, posant la question suivante : l'Alsace doit-elle sortir du Grand Est ? Notre sujet complet est à retrouver sur azur-fm.com dans l'onglet actualités régionales - Depuis ce samedi 01 janvier 2022, les hébergeurs de la Vallée de Villé sont amenés à collecter une taxe de séjour auprès des touristes séjournant dans leur établissement, puis à reverser cette dernière à la Communautés de Communes, via une plateforme. Une mesure votée en juin dernier par le conseil communautaire. Ecoutez les précisions de Serge Janus, président de la Comcom. Retrouvez notre article, avec tous les renseignements sur azur-fm.com, rubrique actualités régionales - Les centres de vaccination fêtent leur un an. La plupart de ceux présents en Alsace ont ouvert leurs portes et injecté leurs premières doses près d'une année après le début de la crise sanitaire. Côté chiffres, la région se situe sous la moyenne nationale qui est à 79%. 78% des Bas-Rhinois et 72% des Haut-Rhinois ont aujourd'hui reçu au moins une dose. Une différence qui s'explique par une défiance plus grande vis-à-vis des vaccins dans le sud de l'Alsace et une population plus défavorisée, qui a moins accès aux informations liées aux vaccins. - Un incendie dans un hangar tue des milliers de lapins. Au total, près de 20 000 bêtes ont péri hier dans les flammes à Sundhouse qui s'est déclaré en début d'après-midi. Les pompiers, bien que rapidement arrivés sur place, n'ont pas pu les sauver, après avoir éteint l'incendie. Les lapins sont morts intoxiqués pris au piège dans ce hangar de 2 500 mètres carrés en proie aux flammes. Les gendarmes ont ouvert une enquête pour déterminer l'origine de l'incendie. - Alain Soral définitivement pour une quenelle réalisée devant le tribunal de Colmar. Les faits remontent à mai 2019 et l'essayiste d'extrême droite avait été poursuivi mais relaxé en première instance. Début janvier 2021, la cour d'appel colmarienne l'avait en revanche reconnu coupable d'injure. Condamné à 150 jours amendes à 150 euros, il s'est pourvu en cassation. La juridiction a rejeté hier ce pourvoi, et l'a de nouveau reconnu coupable d'injure publique et ce, définitivement. Pour cette quenelle, geste qualifiée d'antisémite par les tribunaux dans ces jugements, Alain Soral devra payer 2 500 euros à chacune des deux parties civiles, SOS Racisme et la LICRA. - Nos livreurs ont du talent. La semaine dernière, la police colmarienne arrête un adolescent à scooter après qu'il a grillé un stop et roulé un peu trop vite. Le connaissant, ils l'ont contrôlé et ont inspecté le box installé à l'arrière de son deux-roues, qui contenait des pizzas qu'il devait livrer pour un restaurant, mais également des produits illicites, assez pour suspecter un trafic. Suite à une perquisition à son domicile, les forces de l'ordre trouvent un kilo de résine de cannabis. L'individu doit être jugé par le tribunal pour enfants.

The bots that try to moderate speech online are doing a terrible job, and the humans in charge of the biggest tech companies aren't doing any better. The internet's promise was as a space where everyone could have their say. But today, just a few platforms get to decide what billions of people see and say online. What's a better way forward? How can we get back to a world where communities and people decide what's best for content moderation, rather than tech billionaires or government dictates? Join Daphne Keller, from Stanford's Centre for the Internet and Society, in conversation with EFF's Cindy Cohn and Danny O'Brien about a better way to moderate speech online. In this episode you'll learn about: — Why giant platforms do a poor job of moderating content—What competitive compatibility (ComCom) is, and how it's a vital part of the solution to our content moderation puzzle— Why machine learning algorithms won't be able to figure out who or what a “terrorist” is, and who it's likely to catch instead— What is the debate over “amplification” of speech, and is it any different than our debate over speech itself? —Why international voices need to be included in discussion about content moderation—and the problems that occur when they're not—How we could shift towards “bottom-up” content moderation rather than a concentration of power
Wow. That's a fair reaction to the news that there is a possibility the supermarket chains could be broken up. This is coming out of the Commerce Commission inquiry into the supermarket businesses. Apparently the ComCom has been asking the supermarkets very detailed questions around forcing them to sell-off stores and splitting up the businesses. The big headline - there is the possibility of forced store sales. Obviously, the point of doing that would be to sell them to a new or smaller, existing supermarket chain to get a third big competitor up and running. Would the ComCom actually do it? Probably not. It feels like it's too big a risk for New Zealand's reputation as a safe place to invest. We have had so many investment shocks in the last four years of the Labour Government, from the oil and gas ban to the completely unreasonable and ineffectual crack down on landlords earlier this year. This will probably do too much damage to investor trust in us. Plus, many of those stores are family owned. So, how do you pick which unlucky family is forced to sell their store, and which lucky family gets to keep theirs? It seems fraught. But I reckon this still sends a signal that something big could be coming . Clearly the ComCom is prepared to go really hard on the supermarkets so, maybe, they might do something like force the supermarket chains to open up the wholesale market; which means the big boys would be forced to sell produce and what not to the little guys and the new guys consistently and at decent prices. And they can't just cut them off on a whim. That does happen by the way. At the start of this outbreak, Countdown cut back the supplies it was selling Night and Day stores in the North Island, saying it needed the supplies itself. Now that might be fair – who knows – but for night and day that's no way to run a business. That kind of thing puts the smaller guys at constant risk. It's good news that the Commerce Commission seems to be taking this market study seriously after the flop of the petrol market study. Most of us would agree there's something very wrong with the price of groceries in this country and it's probably going to take something big to fix that. And from the sounds of things - big is very much a possibility.
Winston Peters is calling on Auckland restrictions to be loosened immediately The PM had to call off her press conference in Northland today because she was being hackled by an anti-vaxxer. Foodstuffs and Countdown are sweating as the ComCom has suggested it could break up their businesses to deal with the duopoly problems. The High Court has ordered the Ministry of Health to think again about providing Maori vaccination providers with vaccination information about Maori. And bad news for avocado lovers as we discover they're bad for the climate! Listen above as Nick Leggett and Trish Sherson discuss the day's news with Heather du Plessis-Allan

If you thought wrestlers shared some of the tropes of comedians' lives, wait til you hear about historians! Comedy-adjacent public historian, writer of “Dead Famous” and other superb books, and creator and host of “You're Dead To Me” (BBC Sounds) Greg Jenner had factual oversight on every word of Horrible Histories ever recorded, and wrote some of the jokes too. He's also a student of ComCom and probably our most learned ever guest…We talk about his creative process in constructing analogies that package and frame his research; learn about the pitfalls of generalising and the responsibility of the historian; and he shares his deeply personal struggle with mental health, anxiety and extraordinary insomnia, and they effect they still have on his fraught relationship with celebrity.30 mins of extra content available exclusively to the Insiders Club include Greg delving further into his anxieties, particularly those that accrete around social media and listener feedback; the joy of online kindness; “factoids” and his doomed quest to rid the internet of viral “fake facts”; and we learn about the hidden link between Rattus Rattus from Horrible Histories and Greg himself.Go to www.comedianscomedian.com/insiders for this and much more, including the exclusive Insiders Q&As with Nish Kumar, James Acaster and Alfie Brown, and your invite to the forthcoming ones with Fern Brady and a “self-help for comedians” special with Amanda Donnet (MClinPsych) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Phone bosses have pledged to send their customers annual spending summaries - plus a prompt to change plans if there's a cheaper deal that meets their needs.They also say they will release a comparison tool to make it easier to compare plans between providers.The changes are on the way after a shove from a regulator.In September last year, the Commerce Commission released an analysis of 80,000 mobile phone bills that found:A quarter of post-paid (contract) consumers could save an estimated average of $11.60 a month by moving to a cheaper plan that would still cover their usage.7 per cent of all residential consumers spent a relatively high amount on mobile services, given their usage, and that these consumers could potentially save an average of $48.65 a month.New Zealand Telecommunications Forum Chief Executive Geoff Thorn told Heather du Plessis-Allan it'll be beneficial for customers."The one thing we can d is provide them with better information so they can actually make a choice, so when they do decide the products they want, they make sure they are getting exactly what they need."Consumer NZ today welcomed the Commission's announcement."Without good information on usage and spend, it's much harder for consumers to work out whether they're getting value for money," Consumer NZ chief executive Jon Duffy said."Giving customers decent information on their usage is essential to ensuring the mobile market works well. We're pleased the industry has acknowledged this and has agreed to make changes."The major telcos disputed the study's methodology, saying the ComCom's sample ignored people switching phone companies, who often change to a cheaper deal at the same time.Regardless, in a pragmatic move to head-off regulation, the phone companies proposed voluntary changes during talks with the market watchdog.In an open letter to Spark CEO Jolie Hodson, Vodafone NZ CEO Jason Paris and 2degrees CEO Mark Aue, released this morning, the Commerce Commission's Telecommunications Commissioner, Tristan Gilbertson, thanks the telco bosses for agreeing to introduce a series of reforms by the end of this year.The highlights (which borrow from similar moves across the Tasman):to provide at least 12 months' usage and spend information to their customersprovide an annual usage and spending summary to their customers including a prompt to consider whether they are on the right planpromote the development of comparison tools including a prospective consumer data right (CDR) to make it easier for customers to compare plans and providers."This is the first initiative in the Commission's new drive to improve retail service quality in telecommunications," Gilbertson said.Technology Users Association of NZ (Tuanz) head Craig Young applauded the new measures and said, "We urge the operators to see this agreement as a minimum level to which they should provide information to their customers."Operators should see this as an area in which they can differentiate by offering clear information about the service received."

Host Duncan Greive is joined by Stuff CEO Sinead Boucher to discuss the media monster's growth from an experimental website, to its queasy peak and the current more purpose-driven iteration. Along the way she revealed a number of fascinating insights into the reality of running a news organisation at scale in 2019, including the fact that of the 150,000 comments readers attempt to post each month, a full third are rejected for violations. This brutal task is accomplished by human moderators – in striking contrast to the laissez faire attitude of Facebook. Plus her thoughts on the sale of Three, the ComCom decisions and the proposed RNZ/TVNZ merger. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
