But ACT's associate finance spokesperson Damien Smith says there are other factors causing hurdles to new players coming to New Zealand.
"No sane company would come to New Zealand to develop a supermarket chain unless it was allowed to develop a full-service grocery model," he said.
"That means the RMA has to be modified to allow this to happen. It means we need to attract foreign investment from friendly OECD countries that can be fast-tracked here. At the moment, it is like North Korea without the nukes trying to get money into this country."

I wonder if a single person cares what ACT's associate finance spokesperson thinks about anything. Maybe Seymour, already back-pedalling furiously on Smith's behalf.

Stupid boy, showing crass ignorance of a political reality is not a good look for someone in his job.

There's a good reason why Seymour keeps his caucus away from the media...
I do have other cameras!
