Petition attached: Make the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement text public Prime Minister Abbott Secret documents I am deeply concerned that you are negotiating a secret trade deal that will undermine the rights of the Australian community. We know the deal - the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement - is the biggest trade deal in Australia’s history. It covers everything from giving America the right to put Australian internet users under surveillance to giving multinational pharmaceutical companies more power - threatening access to affordable medicines for Australians and our Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. Deals this big can’t be kept secret. Successive governments have been keeping this deal quiet. We now have a small piece of the TPPA puzzle. But we know from other leaks that this agreement could place at risk human rights, public health, the environment, climate, internet freedom, privacy, labour rights, food labelling, purchase of agricultural lands and more. The Greens have repeatedly called on the Government to make the TPPA draft texts have tabled a motion in the Senate calling on the government to make public the secret negotiating text. Secrecy is no way to trade. Please tell us what you are preparing to trade away. campaigns.greens.org.au/ea-action/action?ea.client.id=1792&ea.campaign.id=23574&ea.tracking.id=fb&fb_action_ids=10152418543058677&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=other_multiline&action_object_map=%7B%2210152418543058677%22%3A362361277231588%7D&action_type_map=%7B%2210152418543058677%22%3A%22og.likes%22%7D&action_ref_map=%5B%5D
