> Cabinet has agreed to its next steps in its war on the country’s [supermarket duopoly](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/stop-waiting-for-a-foreign-hero-nzs-supermarket-sector-needs-competition-from-within-opinion/PZI4NQOFSJD3BLBZ3TBU57REQA/?ref=goodoil.news), set to be announced by the Finance Minister on Sunday.  
>  
> Willis took over responsibility for the supermarket delegation this month, after newly appointed Commerce and Consumer Affairs Minister Scott Simpson proactively identified a conflict of interest, understood to be a close family member owning a supermarket.  
>  
> Andrew Bayly had been doing the job but quit his ministerial warrants last month after an incident with a staffer in his office.  
>  
> RNZ understands Willis, who is also Economic Growth Minister, will this weekend announce decisions taken by Cabinet to incentivise and [encourage a third player](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/companies/retail/new-zealand-needs-a-third-major-supermarket-player-editorial/MSS4QARL7JC3LPMSM55TSAXG4Y/?ref=goodoil.news) into the market.  
>  
> It’s required sign-off by Cabinet on several additional levers it can pull to improve access.  
>  
> Those levers could be related to tax incentives or infrastructure assistance, for example, government-owned land being freed up at significant sites for a new operator.  
>  
> While Willis has already indicated there is interest from businesspeople in New Zealand considering consolidating to create a supermarket chain, she has also been working on how to incentivise an international player entering the market.
