根据前绿党议员马克斯·科勒-马瑟提出的250亿美元计划，超市将被国有化，数百家政府杂货店将开业。
supermarkets would be nationalised, and hundreds of government grocery stores opened, under a $25bn plan being put forward by former Greens MP Max Chandler-Mather.
纽约市长佐兰·马瑟（Zohran Mamdani）的公有杂货店计划是该党智库绿党研究所（Greens Institute）的老板，他希望利用新的强制剥离法来接管主要超市地点和三个配送中心。
Channelling New York mayor Zohran Mamdani’s plan for publicly owned grocery stores, Chandler-Mather, the boss of the party’s thinktank, the Greens Institute, wants to use new forced divestiture laws to take over major supermarket sites and three distribution centres.
政府将资助另外424家新超市和10个配送中心，为新的非营利网络占据商业运营商约20%的市场份额。
The government would fund another 424 new supermarkets and 10 distribution centres, taking about 20% of the market share of commercial operators for the new non-profit network.
Chandler-Mather表示，这些名为Fair Go Grocers的新店将为消费者平均节省高达22%的费用，即为四口家庭每周节省60美元。水果和蔬菜、面包、牛奶和肉类等必需品将实行大幅折扣。
Chandler-Mather says the new stores – dubbed Fair Go Grocers – would save consumers as much as 22% on the average shop, or $60 per week for a four-person household. Heavy discounts would be put in place for essentials including fruit and vegetables, bread, milk and meat.
将建立一个法定权力来确定每月的价格以及供应商的最低批发费率。其成员包括超市运营、营养和食品科学以及农业方面的专家。
A statutory authority would be established to set prices each month, as well as minimum wholesale rates for suppliers. Its members would include experts in supermarket operations, nutrition and food science, and farming.
联邦政府将支付包括土地、建设和收购在内的资本成本，商店将设在最需要的地区。
The federal government would pay for capital costs including land, construction, and acquisition, and stores would be located in areas of the highest need.
在五年内最初的标价为251亿美元后，科勒-马瑟表示，这些商店将自筹资金，不需要额外的纳税人现金。
After an initial $25.1bn price tag over five years, Chandler-Mather says the stores would be self-funded and not require additional taxpayer cash.
相比之下，联邦政府目前每年在药品福利计划上花费约240亿美元。
By comparison, the federal government currently spends about $24bn each year on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.
勒-马瑟说：“孩子们挨饿上学，家庭缺饭，人们削减必需品，这一切都是因为工党允许科尔斯和伍尔沃斯提高价格以获得额外利润，而不顾人类后果。”
“Kids are going to school hungry, families are skipping meals, people are cutting back on essentials, all because Labor has allowed Coles and Woolworths to jack up prices for extra profit, regardless of the human consequences,” Chandler-Mather said.
“就像医疗保健和教育一样，食物对生命至关重要。就像医疗保险和公立学校一样，现在是我们拥有公共食物选择的时候了。”该提案与马姆达尼的计划类似，即在2029年之前开设五家城市拥有和补贴的杂货店，纽约市每个行政区各开设一家。上个月，当地一个商业团体起诉民主社会党市长，认为现有的小型杂货店将无法竞争。
“Just like healthcare and education, food is essential to life. And just like Medicare and public schools, it’s time we had a public option for food.”The proposal is similar to Mamdani’s plan for five city-owned and subsidised grocery stores, one in each of New York City’s boroughs, opening by 2029. Last month a local business group sued the Democratic Socialist mayor, arguing existing small grocery stores would be unable to compete.
新西兰绿党计划将120家超市国有化，并建立一家名为KiwiMark的新公有连锁店绿党研究所上个月委托民意调查机构YouGov测试公众对该提议的支持程度，背景是Mamdani计划的政府拥有的商店，削减私营公司的利润。
The New Zealand Greens have a plan to nationalise 120 supermarkets and establish a new publicly owned chain called KiwiMark The Greens Institute commissioned pollsters YouGov to test public support for the proposal last month, with background on Mamdani’s plan for government-owned stores that cut out profits made by private corporations.

新当选的绿党领袖大卫·舒布里奇（David Shoebridge）面临着激发人们对该党的热情和关注的压力，他对这一提议表示欢迎，并表示绿党应该专注于改善个人、环境和社区的物质条件。

他告诉澳大利亚卫报：“食品更便宜的公有超市非常受欢迎，因为它让人们的生活更好。”
“A publicly owned supermarket with cheaper food is wildly popular, because it makes people’s lives better,” he told Guardian Australia.
“当然，这是我们现在应该讨论的政策。”舒布里奇表示，马姆达尼关于政府需要满足公民需求的信息正在发挥作用。
“Of course this is the sort of policy that we should be discussing right now.”Shoebridge said Mamdani’s message about the government needing to address the needs of citizens was working.
“当我与人们交谈时，我听到他们沿着超市过道走去时感到恐惧，购物手推车感觉就像把一块巨石推到收银台，”他说。
“When I talk to people, I hear about the dread they feel heading down the supermarket aisle, the shopping trolley feels like pushing a boulder up to the checkout,” he said.
“虽然我们中99%的人为食物支付了更多费用，而且许多人正在就足够的食物或其他必需品做出决定，但拥有Coles和Woolies的1%却在笑。”竞争监管机构已对Coles和Woolworths提起诉讼，指控他们对店内折扣进行虚假或误导性陈述，去年发布的一份报告发现，他们是世界上利润最高的杂货店之一。绿党声称工党禁止超市过高定价的新法律无效，并且没有降低消费者的成本。
“While 99% of us are paying more for food, and many are making decisions about enough food or some other essentials, the 1% who own Coles and Woolies are laughing.”The competition watchdog has brought cases against both Coles and Woolworths over false or misleading representations about in-store discounts, and a report released last year found they were among the most profitable grocers in the world The Greens allege Labor’s new laws banning supermarkets from excessive pricing are ineffective and have not resulted in lower costs for consumers.
