ACT leader David Seymour criticized calls for tougher regulation of New Zealand’s grocery sector, dismissing them as ineffective. He claimed the Grocery Commissioner’s approach lacked substance, saying, “If more regulation made groceries affordable, we’d have the cheapest in the world.” Seymour advocated for less regulation and more competition, arguing, “New Zealand needs more market, more entrepreneurship, not beating up big businesses.”
