TPP protesters descend on NZ Parliament

[n2doc]

The TPP is a set of trade and investment negotiations among 12 Asia-Pacific countries to cut tariffs and improve access to markets.

It has caused major controversy, with supporters arguing it would offer huge economic benefits, and critics insisting it is heavily weighted in favour of US corporations and will undermine New Zealand sovereignty.

Four days of talks to finalise the deal stalled earlier this month after countries failed to reach agreement, but Prime Minister John Key said this week he it to be signed by the end of this year.

One of the groups protesting at Parliament today, ActionStation, said the TPP would favour foreign trans-national corporations over New Zealand businesses.

I agree with the New Zealanders, except I would simplify their objection to saying it gives CORPORATIONS favor over countries.
