public release of the full draft text of TPPA, before it is signed

Francisca Griffin made this Official Information request to Minister of Trade

The request was refused by Minister of Trade.

From: Francisca Griffin

Dear Minister of Trade, Tim Grosser,

If Malaysia can release TPPA text before it’s signed, why can't NZ? We're intelligent people who care about our country, of course we want what is best for it, as you do.
Please show us some respect, release the full draft text to us, so we can have a say.

Yours faithfully,

Francisca Griffin

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.
