Poll: Would a new supermarket help NZ?
Nicola Willis will this weekend announce decisions taken by Cabinet to incentivise and encourage a third supermarket player alongside FoodStuffs and Progressive (Woolworths).

ASB SCAM HEADS UP
My friend has a ASB debit card and does not buy on line or travel just uses it for groceries and she has been getting money coming out in small amounts since February, the bank have cancelled her card and issued her another one but a few minutes prior to the card been cancelled another withdrawal appeared. The bank said that the scammers are cloning the cards at the supermarkets etc. but it has to be their system having a data breach which is happening overseas, and they obviously do not want to say anything otherwise everyone would be closing their bank accounts, has anyone else had a problem
