Phil Cumming: Warehouse Group Sustainability and Ethical Sourcing GM on the push for right to repair legislation

The Warehouse is pushing for potential 'right to repair' legislation to hold overseas manufacturers accountable. 

The retailer's among companies taking part in the select committee process for the Right to Repair Amendment Bill. 

It aims to reduce waste, create a repair workforce, and cut costs for consumers. 

Warehouse Group Sustainability and Ethical Sourcing GM Phil Cumming told Mike Hosking the Commerce Commission isn't doing enough when overseas products don't meet expectations. 

He says consumers are often turning to retailers instead of manufacturers, which is why clearer, stronger rules are needed.
