Poll: Do you think we need another major player in the supermarket sector?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

This is not a drill. Nicola Willis is on a mission. The finance minister and still relatively new “economic growth” minister has lobbed a huge bomb into the groceries sector: the threat of de-mergers.

In ordinary parlance, Woolies and Foodstuffs might be compelled to sell of some of their supermarket brands or split up their wholesale and retail operations.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
