Petition request

That the House of Representatives urge the Government to take action to reduce the cost of essential groceries in New Zealand and improve affordability for households.

Petition reason

According to Consumer NZ, the cost of essential groceries has become a major concern for many households across New Zealand. I believe many families are struggling to afford everyday food and essential items as living costs continue to rise. This petition asks Parliament to take practical action to improve grocery affordability, strengthen competition, and help ensure New Zealanders can access essential food at reasonable prices.
