## Resource

Luxon’s government wants to slash the income cap for first-home buyers, lifting it from $95k (single) or $150k (with dependents) to a flat $300k — aiming to revive 90s-era home ownership rates and tackle affordability as election looms. Meanwhile, the Greens are targeting supermarket prices with a bold plan: create KiwiMart, a new state-owned chain taking over 120 stores, costing $2.8 billion, to break up the duopoly and force down costs — arguing profits are too high and should go back to consumers.
