Who wants to be part of it. Almost Every thing we buy in retail is made overseas, and sold on special. I do notice some of the timber products are cheaper to buy than we can buy the material in nz, never mind the labour or sale margin. They are all cutting each others throats with continual sales. The whole retail industry is not worth investing in at the moment. It is cheaper to throw a blunt saw away, and buy a new one rather than sharpen it. Free trade with china will kill retail in nz, even worse than what is going on now. Produce from the farm sector is the only winner.
