WELLINGTON, July 29 (Xinhua) The New Zealand Commerce Commission s draft report into competition in the retail grocery sector has found that competition is not working well for consumers. If competition was more effective, retailers would face stronger pressures to deliver the right prices, quality and range to satisfy a diverse range of consumer preferences, said Commission Chair Anna Rawlings on Thursday.
In November 2020, the government asked the commission to look at whether competition in the 22-billion-New-Zealand-dollar per year grocery industry was working well and, if not, what could be done to improve it.

New Zealand’s competition enforcement agency The Commerce Commission has laid down its expectations of the country’s fuel businesses ahead of a new regulatory regime taking effect in August.
In an open letter to the industry Commission Chair Anna Rawlings said she expected that fuel businesses will comply with the requirements of the Act from the time those requirements come into force on 11 August.
“We encourage parties that may be affected to seek legal advice to ensure they understand the rights and obligations that apply to them.”

Vodafone found guilty of misleading conduct over “FibreX” service
Vodafone NZ Limited has been found guilty of engaging in conduct that was liable to mislead consumers in relation to its FibreX branded broadband service.
In a case brought by the Commerce Commission and heard last year, the Auckland District Court ruled on Friday that Vodafone was guilty of nine charges under section 11 of the Fair Trading Act. These related to conduct in Wellington, Kapiti and Christchurch where its FibreX branded service was offered, between 26 October 2016 and 28 March 2018.
Judge Sinclair found Vodafone’s branding and advertising was liable to mislead consumers into thinking that the FibreX branded service was delivered over a fibre-to-the-home network (like those services delivered over the Government-subsidised Ultra-Fast Broadband (UFB) networks), when it was not. It did this by naming its broadband service “FibreX” and advertising on billboards, radio, in-store, online
