New Zealanders finally have a chance to formally have their say on the TPPA. Don’t miss the opportunity to make your voice heard.

The agreement has been signed. But this deal is far from done. Before John Key’s administration can push ahead with the TPPA, it needs to go through the Parliamentary process.

It’s the job of the Parliamentary Select Committee to weigh up all the evidence and public concerns. Our Green MPs will be at the table – and we’ll be doing everything we can to represent your views.

We’ve got until 11 March to show the Select Committee that New Zealanders are still opposed to the TPPA.

Don’t let the Government claim silence as agreement – make your voice heard on the TPPA today.

Key Facts About the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA)

We’re not against trade. But the purpose of trade should be to make peoples’ lives better. We don’t think the TPPA will do this for New Zealanders. Here’s why:

The deal was negotiated in secret, preventing an honest discussion about the costs and benefits to New Zealand.
A small number of businesses will benefit, but ordinary people will pay the costs.
The only economic analysis of the TPPA’s effects on employment says New Zealand will actually lose 5000 jobs.
The TPPA shifts power away from democratically elected governments, and into the arms of a small group of corporate CEOs.
The deal will make it harder for the Government to protect our environment, when it clashes with the interests of overseas companies.
It will increase Pharmac’s operating costs by millions of dollars a year, threatening every New Zealander’s right to affordable healthcare.
Libraries and universities will suffer new costs due to changes to the copyright system.
The TPPA is opposed by lawyers, doctors, nurses, conservation organisations, consumer groups and economists.

Submission

Evidence shows that the TPPA restricts what future governments can and can’t do, and presents very real risks to our environment and every New Zealander’s right to affordable healthcare, while the benefits are projected to be very small. I urge you to consider the lasting impact that this deal will have for our country’s prosperity, and to oppose the TPPA.
