Release the text of the draft TPPA
A Wills made this Official Information request to Minister of Trade
The request was refused by Minister of Trade.
From: A Wills
Dear Minister of Trade,
If Malaysia can release TPPA text before it’s signed and say no
deal without “fast track”, why can't NZ?
It is imperative that we see the draft text of the agreement before
it is a done deal.
Please release the draft text of the TPPA. This international
agreement could curb New Zealanders' internet freedom and
intellectual property rights among other things.
Yours faithfully,
Amanda Wills
From: T Groser (MIN)
Minister of Trade
On behalf of Hon Tim Groser, thank you for your email. Your
correspondence has been noted and will be recorded.
All correspondence, including email, is routed through our mail tracking
process. Although e-mail increases the speed of delivery, the
“behind-the-scenes” efforts of the Minister’s staff in responding to
mail cannot always provide the kind of speedy response users of email may
anticipate.
While the Minister considers all correspondence to be important, if it is
obvious that you are writing only to express a personal view your opinion
will be noted but a response beyond this acknowledgement may not be sent.
Thank you again.
