Hon Dr DAVID CLARK: The commission makes a number of recommendations, which include exploring how a code of conduct between major retailers and suppliers could be developed, and looking at the establishment of a grocery regulator. The commission's findings also indicate that restrictive covenants over land are a major barrier to rival supermarkets accessing new sites, so I want to ban these covenants from being used to stop competition. Given the importance of achieving healthy levels of competition in our retail grocery sector, I have not ruled out some of the other options that the Commerce Commission tabled while developing its report if consumer benefit is not achieved from the changes recommended in the report.
