Last nights TPPA meeting was incredible and sobering.
The level of bullshit the Government have used to cover over what the TPPA is really about and the ludicrous ways they’ve measured the economic impacts for NZ have never been so vigorously argued than last night.
The page views for the live stream were in the tens of thousands.
If you had viewed the discussion, you would have heard things never discussed by the mainstream media.
Like the GCSB mass surveillance, the issue of the TPPA isn’t left or right. No one wins by allowing the Government to sign us up to a deal that creates a de facto upper chamber to our Parliament which is controlled by American Corporations.
The economic gains are an illusion. The protections to our environment are a lie. The ability for Maori to uphold the Treaty has been terminally weakened. We will have to pay more for our medicines. We open ourselves up to be manipulated by American Corporations.
There’s nothing in this deal that benefits anyone other than the already wealthy. It locks NZ into being a garden for America’s food chain, which is fine for Farmers and the National Party, but kinda screws the rest of us.
The talking schedule continues around the country, if you have the opportunity to go and hear, you simply must.

It’s starting to look like it’s already signed, or in the bag. So why the fake and futile exercise?

I just posted the talk by Jane Kelsey explaining the legal process. The signing is just a ceremony. The TPPA can’t take effect until the US Senate, House and new president approve it. In addition, all 12 countries must change their laws to enable TPPA to take effect (New Zealand has to change at least 8 laws). The process is supposed to take 2 years.

I say, this is very sobering indeed.

The effects on Australia are comparable, Aunty. It’s attack on the rights of the people in the signatory countries to make democratic decisions about their future.

Is it not the case that all the countries in this Transatlantic deal have to sign?
And this signing needs to be approved by the various parliaments?
I do not understand, how it is possible that our parliament, the Australian Senate for instance. can give approval?

Unfortunately they’re going to sign it first (on 4 Feb) and worry about ratifying it later. Australia has agreed to sign and will be in Auckland next week. To be honest, I don’t have much more confidence in Turnbull’s commitment to democracy than I do to John Key’s.

Great link, Aunty. I’ve shared it with some of the activists who will be speaking at our local protest on Saturday.
