Greens' $6b KiwiMart plan would force 120 supermarkets into public ownership

The Green Party has announced a $6 billion "KiwiMart" plan requiring new legislation to force Foodstuffs and Woolworths to sell 120 stores and two distribution centres into public ownership. Co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick said buying existing stores is key to breaking the supermarket duopoly. The plan forms part of the party's broader "Affordable Kai" policy package.
