Barry Soper: Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent on the Government's new plan to boost supermarket competition - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

The Government hopes more progress on competing with the supermarket duopoly will bring down prices.

It's announced what it calls an express lane, allowing for new supermarkets to open in New Zealand.

If a supermarket will boost either regional or national competition, it will be considered to be fast-tracked.

Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says these changes are set to be pushed through quite quickly.
