Pattrick talks to Kathryn about who is behind the would-be third supermarket chain, Northelia, which says it wants to take on Woolworths and Foodstuffs?

And a look at the last time anyone had a go at this - Albert Gubay and the Three Guys supermarkets that came to NZ in the 1970s.

Also last week’s loss in the Supreme Court by Trans Tasman Resources which was quickly hailed as the death of seabed mining aspirations in NZ.
