A competition lawyer says it'll be very unlikely Foodstuff's appeal will succeed. The Commerce Commission declined its merger of its North and South Island arms- saying it would lessen grocery competition and hurt suppliers. Foodstuffs North Islands chief executive, Chris Quin, says the change would actually make it easier for suppliers. Lawyer Neil Anderson says it's unlikely a case like this will go to court, with even less chance of winning. "The commercial parties, by the time they've been

Bill author, David Seymour, says Parliament Speaker Gerry Brownlee should tighten the rules. Former Speaker David Carter says Brownlee should possibly pass it on to the Standing Orders Committee.

Tataki Auckland Unlimited could lose its economic development, events and tourism marketing roles, becoming solely focused on managing stadiums, theatres and other facilities.
