1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Nikola willis back yesterday for another guns at Dawn with

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: the supermarket She had the results of the RFI request

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: for information A main takeout, we're all too tied up

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: in red tape. We need to make it easier to

5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: do business now. We know this, of course, because before

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: the RFI she told us this, and she told us

7
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: she was going to do something about it. She told

8
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: us she was going to do something about it again yesterday,

9
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 1: Play another song, Nicola. Then bad news Aldie and Little,

10
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: a couple of large supermarket players who she had been courting,

11
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: didn't even take part in the RFA. Why because, as

12
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: I've told you for the last two years, at least,

13
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: we are too small, and the scandal Nickeler insists exists

14
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: actually doesn't. There is no mystery. They just can't be

15
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: bothered with the country our size. Costco did take part, though,

16
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: but Costco aren't Nicola's answer why because Costco aren't going nationwide.

17
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: Even Nikola said they may may have one or two

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: more stores in coming years. Then the worst bit of

19
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: her greatest hit show, the finger wagging exercise yet again

20
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: of threatening to break the industry up with regulation. She's

21
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: awaiting a report when when she doesn't have a date.

22
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: Who's doing the report? Hah, same company that did the

23
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: same report for the labor party. Good work if you

24
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: can get that a So what did we actually end

25
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: up with? A re announcement of the fact that we

26
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: are hard to do business with? Fine, stop telling us

27
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: actually change some laws. Second, major players couldn't even be

28
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: bother taking part. And third, the thing that may bring

29
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: real change? Do remember Rider? I think all this is nonsense,

30
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: but Nichola's mind, it's a scandal. The thing that may

31
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: bring real change is no closer because we don't have

32
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: the report, and we don't even know when we're getting

33
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: the report. And having got the report, there is of

34
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: course no reason to think such a major business busting

35
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: trigger by a so called business friendly government would even

36
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: be pulled. So is you, Trolley, any cheaper has Nicola

37
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: or her grocery commissioner another game changing pile of nonsense

38
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: you referenced yesterday actually achieved anything? Has a scent been saved,

39
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: has a law been changed? Has a new play arrived?

40
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: Or is this just like the Bank's no smoking gun

41
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: to be found. For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast,
