The secret, evil, Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)
The TPP is being negotiated right now. Super secret - so secret even government delegates only get to see the chapter they're meeting about.

From leaks via wikileaks etc, there's nothing good about it for Aussies.

Given this government's ineptitude, do you think you should be trusting them to negotiate this secret, super-important deal?

Everyone from Choice magazine to peak computing associations to the AMA & medical publications like Lancet are screaming about this - but no-one's listening.


The Trans Pacific Partnership is the biggest free trade agreement hardly anyone's ever heard of. Bubbling along below the radar for half a decade, it's about to become solid. It is set to deliver much more money and power to US pharmaceutical companies, to criminalise the use of technology in ways that presently don't attract jail time and to set up outside tribunals to reconsider decisions already made by Australian courts.
