A former supermarket leader agrees New Zealand's lacking competition. The Government's aiming to put supermarkets that would improve competition up for being fast-tracked in new reforms. It comes as the Minister of Finance confirms there's been talks with Costco to potentially expand across the country in the coming years. Former Costco NZ managing director Patrick Noone says their West Auckland store's provided some savings. "In that same precinct, we had Pak'nSave, we had Woolworths across the street and we were able to operate and be extremely competitive with the local market."

Nicola Willis was back yesterday for another "guns at dawn" with the supermarkets. She had the results of the RFI, the Request for Information. The main takeaway was we are too tied up in red tape and we need to make it easier to do business. Now we know this of course, because before the RFI she told us this, and she told us she was going to do something about it. She told us she was going to do something about it again yesterday. Play another song Nicola. Then the bad news: ALDI and Lidl, a couple of large supermarket players who she had been courting, didn't even take part in the RFI. Why? Because, as I have said for about two years, we are too small and the scandal Nicola insists exists, actually doesn't. There is no scandal, they just can't be bothered with a country our size. Costco did take part though. But Costco isn't Nicola's answer. Why? Because Costco isn't going nationwide, even though Nicola said they may, may, have one or two more stores in the coming years. Then the worst bit of her greatest hits show, the finger wagging exercise, yet again, of threatening to break the industry up with regulation. She is awaiting a report. When? She doesn't have a date. Who's doing the report? The same company that did the same report for Labour. It's good work if you can get it, aye? So what did we actually end up with? A re-announcement of the fact we are hard to do business with. Fine, stop telling us and actually change the laws. The second issue is major players couldn't even be bothered taking part. And the third point, the thing that may bring real change. Do remember, I think all this is nonsense but in Nicola's mind it's a scandal. But the thing that can bring real change is no closer because we don't have the report and we don't even know when we are getting the report. Having got the report there is of course no reason to think such a major business-busting trigger by a so-called "business friendly" Government would even be pulled. So, is your trolley any cheaper? Has Nicola or her Grocery Commissioner, another game-changing pile of nonsense she referenced, actually achieved anything? Has a cent been saved? Has a law been changed? Has a new player arrived? Or is this just like the banks? No smoking gun to be found?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

All good so far from Nicola Willis on supermarkets. She's got to the nub of the problem, which is basically red tape. Governments of all stripes, including her, have been quick to point the finger at private enterprise for high prices. And there's truth in that, but most haven't looked in the mirror like Willis did yesterday and admit it's them that also has a problem. We all do, really. Everybody moans about prices but then moans about construction of anything new - not in my backyard. Consultation up the wazoo, committees, petitions, Duncan Webb on a soapbox - that's democracy. Like Churchill said, the lesser of two evils. It's taken them two years to get here, but they could have just listened to our interview with the former Managing Director of Costco back in March - he told us all this then. The other big problems were real estate prices and shipping - getting goods here on their timeframes. I predicted this (humble brag) all last week. They'll tinker round with fast-track and consumer laws and plaster their pressers with the threat of breaking up the duopoly. Divestment. Forcing Pak'nSave to sell some stores to a new entrant, forcing Foodstuffs to sell some distribution centres. What I said last week is still true now, ACT won't go for it. Plus, the even the Commerce Commission said it's risky as. Cost could outweigh benefits. So, Willis should stop with the threats. If you own a supermarket right now and your livelihood is being threatened, are you going to invest? Hire staff? Plan expansions? The threat is purely political and could end up doing the opposite of what Willis wants it to. Put it in the bin.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Two stars of Milwaukee's food-and-drink scene sit at the top of this episode, starting with John Dye's exciting new plans for legendary German bar Von Trier. The East Side stalwart recently held its soft opening as the new owner focuses on preserving a piece of Milwaukee history while continuing to serve food out of the historic spot.Our second stop takes us to Bavette La Boucherie, where the James Beard-recognized eatery will cut its dinner service so chef-owner Karen Bell can move a little closer to a healthy work-life balance. The restaurant will still offer lunch and an early happy hour, a move that reflects an industry movement toward saner schedules and sustainable working conditions.We continue rounding things up with news about a pair of supermarket openings: Supermercado La Hacienda on Forest Home Avenue and Pan‑Asia Supermarket (Wisconsin's largest Asian grocery store) on 70th and Greenfield. There's also the return of super-popular dining event Gather, an all-day brunch cafe called Waking Daisy that soft-launched today, and the quiet closure of East Side favorite The Original.

Opposition parties including the Social Democrats and Sinn Féin have been criticising the Government over its record on the cost of living, and especially the price of food, alleging that supermarkets have been allowed to "price gouge" customers. It's true that food price inflation has hit Irish shoppers hard in recent years. But are supermarkets really ripping us off, and does the Government have the power to influence prices?
