The request was refused by Minister of Trade.
From: Amanda Vickers
Dear Minister of Trade,
Under the OIA, I am writing to ask that you release the draft text of the TPPA to me before it is signed. As we live in a democracy, and on account of the OIA, I am asking to see this text in a reasonable time period before it is due to be signed.
Yours faithfully,
Amanda Vickers
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.
