Labour MP fighting supermarket competition

Stuff reports:

The finance minister has slammed Labour regulation spokesperson Duncan Webb for opposing the fast-tracking of consenting for a new supermarket in his Christchurch electorate.

Webb, who served as minister of commerce and consumer affairs from February to November 2023, posted videos to social media and hosted a drop in session at a local bar for constituents to come and share their concerns about the proposed supermarket.

Labour say they want more supermarket competition, and then their former commerce Minister fights against a new one in his electorate.
