Level of corporate corruption in NZ is getting out of control, I feel we need fraud teams to start looking over the departments set up to stop fraud. Commerce commission seem to do very little, and food prices are still going up, something very strange going on.
You don’t need 400 people it’s just another level of corruption. They talk about competition bring in Aldi let’s see if competition really does make a difference.

Is it appropriate the former head of Sanitarium is appointed to this role ? What possible conflicts of interest exist ?

[tonynicholson]

What is the budget for this commission $40, 000, 000.00 or more?

What I do find that stinks is countdowns 400 M re-branding, yet they can't lower prices to the same as paknsave also beyond the election if labour gets in are we really going to know if gst has come off fruit and vegetables when there is such a huge range in some items

So just to confirm that the fox is now running around in the hen house.

We should be so glad that Sanitarium backtracked but wait a second I thought is was a supply chain shortage issue... 😕 Funny how bad publicity cleared that right up!! *sarcasm alert!*
