The bill addresses the weak competition by giving effect to one of the Commerce Commission's recommendations. I intend to introduce the second bill addressing the commission's other recommendations later this year. The commission confirmed what was already suspected: that the duopoly had been engaging in anti-competitive land wars, where they buy up land or dictate the terms of leases to block their competitors from getting a foothold in any particular area. The Commerce (Grocery Sector Covenants) Amendment Bill amends the Commerce Act 1986, banning restrictive covenants on land and exclusive covenants on leases, and it also makes existing covenants unenforceable.
