TPPA and Nature protection in Australia

22/9/2013

"Nature protection in Australia: The Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement  (TPPA) is a rip in the fabric all the way from global to local".  (Margaret Moorhouse ASH)

"The Abbott Coalition is flirting with a trade agreement that would allow companies, acting increasingly in secret, to sue Australia if they don’t like its regulations.

"Labor rejected it outright.  Even the  Howard
government issued America with a rare “no” over the  legislation, declaring it contrary to national interests". 
Here is an appalling story, happening now in Europe. It illustrates the kind of problem we might soon face in Australia if the Coalition signs off on the TPPA with included ISDS provisions - something entirely unnecessary which the previous Labor Govt refused to do, but which the Coalition is apparently willing to do in order to fast-track free
trade agreements like the TPPA.
