TPP – Coming Soon…
Right now a dangerous “agreement” is being negotiated in secret that will impact your lives, and that of your children.
It is likely this controversial agreement will be finalised this week.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement – or the TPP – is the biggest formal attempt in history to push “free market” ideology.
Our government will tell you it is about 12 countries coming together to reduce barriers to international trade and investment.
This is code for big corporations – and big governments – pushing deregulation agendas, synchronising our laws, rules and regulations to suit their own narrow interests.
The Parliament and the people have had no say in the negotiation of this mega agreement and we have been locked out of negotiations.
The secret trade treaty process used to justify such deals, is a Trojan Horse for a corporate takeover of our democracy.
Why has the government refused to disclose details of this shadowy agreement?
And why has Wikileaks had to provide the only detail of negotiating texts?
The only sensible conclusion to draw is that our Government has something to hide, because it puts commercial interests ahead of the public interest.
