Where's the grocery commissioner? Wasn't he going to get cheaper groceries for all of us? That was the idea. But he hasn't. So is Nicola Willis going to do it? My prediction, is she won't. Because, no matter how much we would all like to pay less at the supermarket, the two ideas she announced yesterday are duds. And I'm picking that, if you did a grocery shop yesterday afternoon, the Government's announcement-of-an-announcement yesterday morning did nothing to soften the blow when you went through the checkout. So the Government wants to see a foreign operator coming here. Which is never going to happen. For the simple reason that foreign operators have bigger fish to fry elsewhere. German supermarket company Aldi is often touted as a potential foreign outfit that could come here and create more competition. It's kind-of here already, because it's been registered with the New Zealand Companies Office since 2000. But it hasn't bothered doing anything more - focusing on Australia, instead. But, despite Aldi operating across the Tasman, Australians are still paying through the nose. Just over a week ago, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission put-out a report saying that Coles, Woolworths and Aldi are among the most profitable supermarket chains in the world. Prices there have risen sharply over the past five years. With the supermarkets increasing profit margins during that time, as well. Sound familiar? And just like here, politicians in Australia are all promising to do something about it. But, like here, it will be all talk and won't amount to anything. And, in five years time, shoppers on both sides of the Tasman will still be paying through the nose and politicians will be floating go-nowhere ideas. But if you forced me to pick one of the ideas Nicola Willis announced yesterday that I think could actually work, it would be this threat she made yesterday to force the two big companies to sell some of their supermarket brands, to create more competition and reduce their dominance. If you forced me to choose one, I'd chose that one. But it's a terrible idea. David Seymour doesn't like it, either. Saying that, if the Government poked its nose in this way into Foodstuffs and Woolworths operations, it would put businesses off investing in New Zealand. Which I agree with. I think it could. And it's a weird thing for the Government to be proposing just two weeks after it had all the money people over here from around the world trying to get them to invest in New Zealand. Looking at the rules the Commerce Commission uses to decide whether to allow things like mergers to go ahead, they're all about preventing situations like we have with supermarkets in New Zealand. Not enough competition - all that stuff. Which is fine when you're deciding whether-or-not to allow a merger. But for the Government to try and do that retrospectively, which is what it would effectively be doing, would be a terrible thing. It would be a terrible thing for the supermarket companies. It would also be a terrible thing for the Government's sale pitch to the world. That New Zealand is open for business; that we want businesses to come here; and that we're getting rid of some of the red tape to make it easier come here. It would say 'we're doing all that but, if you do come here, we might tell you what to do with your business if we think there are a few votes in it for us'. But the ideas Nicola Willis announced yesterday won't win votes. Because they won't go anywhere.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Consumer law is a vital area of legal practice designed to protect buyers of goods and services against unfair and fraudulent practices. This blog post delves into the basics of consumer law, providing consumers with the essential knowledge they need to navigate their transactions confidently. Whether you are buying a car, signing up for a credit card, or disputing a faulty product, understanding your rights and responsibilities under consumer law can empower you to make informed decisions and protect your interests. 1. What is Consumer Law? Consumer law refers to the regulations and statutes that provide a legal framework to ensure the rights of consumers are upheld in the marketplace. This field encompasses a variety of areas including product safety, fair trading, credit and finance, privacy, and false advertising. The primary goal of consumer law is to safeguard consumers from exploitation and to ensure that they have access to accurate information to make informed purchasing decisions. 2. Key Aspects of Consumer Law. a. Consumer Rights. Every consumer has fundamental rights, which include the right to safety, the right to be informed, the right to choose, and the right to be heard. These rights ensure that consumers receive products that are safe to use, are well informed about their purchases, have a variety of options available in the market, and can voice complaints about products or services. b. Product Safety and Liability. Product safety is a cornerstone of consumer protection. Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers are obligated to ensure that their products are free from defects that could cause harm to consumers. In cases where a product is found to be unsafe, liability laws ensure that those responsible can be held accountable, offering consumers avenues for compensation. c. Fair Trading. Fair trading laws protect consumers from deceptive and misleading practices. These regulations ensure that businesses conduct their operations honestly and provide clear, accurate information about their products and services. Practices such as false advertising, bait and switch selling, and wrongful pricing are prohibited under these laws. d. Consumer Contracts. Consumer contracts are another critical area covered under consumer law. These contracts must not contain unfair terms, and must be presented in a clear and understandable manner. Consumers have the right to expect that the terms and conditions of any contract they enter into are fair and respect their rights as consumers. e. Credit and Finance. Credit and finance laws protect consumers when they borrow money or purchase goods on credit. These provisions ensure that lenders and credit providers operate transparently and responsibly. Important aspects of these laws include the requirement to clearly disclose interest rates, penalties, and all terms of the credit agreement. f. Privacy Protection. In the digital age, consumer privacy has become increasingly significant. Privacy laws protect personal information collected by businesses. Consumers have the right to know how their information is used and have a right to privacy concerning their personal details. 3. Consumer Protection Agencies. Several agencies and organizations are dedicated to enforcing consumer laws and protecting consumer rights. These include the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the United States, the Competition and Consumer Commission in Australia, or the Consumer Rights Protection Councils found in many countries. These bodies offer resources and support to help consumers understand their rights and seek redress in instances of injustice. 4. How to Resolve Consumer Disputes. When consumer rights are violated, there are several steps that individuals can take to seek resolution. These include: a. Direct Complaints. The first step is often to contact the business directly. Most businesses have a procedure in place for handling consumer complaints and may offer a refund, repair, or replacement. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

In an age where financial transactions have largely moved online, the prevalence of financial scams has surged, catching many Australians off guard. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission reports that Australians lost a record $3.1 billion to scams in 2022. This is an 80 per cent increase in total losses recorded in 2021. This staggering loss highlights not just the cunning of scammers but also their ability to adapt to changing technologies and exploit new vulnerabilities. So, in today's podcast with independent financial advisor Stuart Wemyss, I want to ask him how to spot the signs of a scam. Our conversation today is an eye-opener, revealing common tactics scammers use to exploit the digital landscape and deceive individuals. We touch on personal experiences and the various types of scams, such as phishing and false billing.
