Was anyone aware of the govt signing this deal? TPPA by stealth to me. I might be reading it wrong but if I am not, National have already started the process of implementing the sell out of public assets.
Referring to the govts decision to sell social housing to … Well, anyone, anywhere, who cares? … This was posted by a ‘David Brown’ today on the Standard.
“… John Key is quietly & slowly bringing out these sell off’s of public assets & privatization of govt services now because he is required to under the WTO govt procurement agreement he quietly signed on the 29th of Oct 2014. which is here- https://www.wto.org/english/docs_e/l...pr-94_01_e.htm
It’s one of the cornerstones of the TPP along with the TiSA agreements which pretty much well sell off most if not all of our Public Assets and State services to foreign investment.
The WTO GPA ascended into law on August the 1st which would have been on schedule if the TPP was signed in Maui at the end of July. That way everything could have been nicely bundled up and the Public would have been ambushed completely by so many changes hitting them at once. The TiSA agreement would have locked everything in because both the TPP & the TiSA have “Ratchet Clauses” in them which prevent future governments from undoing all of their work and allowing governments to nationalize assets & services in the public interest.
No body is talking about the WTO Govt Procurement Agreement, but it can not be ignored for it’s important role in these trade deals. We can withdraw from the WTO GPA, but we can’t withdraw from TPP or TiSA without severe penalties due to ISDS’s cases & or economic sanctions from the other member states. …”
Can we do nothing to stop the govt selling public assets into private ownership?

That TISA is a nasty bit of goods
but Ownership is an agreement between 2 parties ..... and if one party doesnt agree ,,,,,the agreement is null and void
like me, selling your house to the fella next door ..... I dont have the authority to do so , and IMHO , the successive government have broken the social contract and therefore do not have authority to sell
NZ property and assets , built and paid for by NZ are the property of NZ . period
IMHO that is
"Look, Madame, where we live, look how we live ... look at the life we have...The Republic has forgotten us."
I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

As the TPPA negotiations get under way again this week in Atlanta, keep this guys face in your mind.
This is the face of those who will stand to make a vast fortune out of this agreement.
