This will effect every Australian for generations to come. Here is a poignant warning about the most invasive agreement to undermine public rights in modern history. It will effect each and everyone of us here in Australia. The Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement is an agreement that is being negotiated in secret which will give unprecedented powers to corporations over common rights and sovereign governments, including ours here in Australia. The Abbott federal government is now in negotiations with the US and other nations of the pacific rim over this TTP agreement. Please make yourselves aware of the TTP and stand up and voice your opposition to it, before it is too late. If it is passed, it will allow international corporations the right to sue our sovereign governments if we impose laws or regulations that impede their ability to make a profit. What this means is the public will have little power to stop mining/oil/gas companies from setting up where ever they want. We couldnt stop them mining on our farmland or the Great Barrier Reef. If we tried to stop them, they would be able to sue our Governments for lost profits, and we, the tax payer will have to pay it. This is serious and effects the public and our governments right to oppose an international corporation on environmental, health and intellectual property rights. While this clip is based in, and about the US, it mentions the effects it will have on all nations that become signatories to it and uses a CSG corporation suing the Canadian government as an example of what this TTP agreement means to our sovereign rights. We can NOT afford to keep our head in the sand about this. Abbott and the TPP have both got to go. NOW.
