Full draft text of the proposed TPPA before it is signed

Brendan Moore made this Official Information request to Minister of Trade

The request was refused by Minister of Trade.

From: Brendan Moore

Hi Tim,

Please provide a copy of the full draft text of the proposed TPPA before it is signed, in compliance with your obligations under the Official Information Act.

You'll notice that I'm sending you this request in spite of the notice on the submission page not to submit duplicate requests, but as the NZ government are choosing not to comply with NZ citizens' request that deals not be done in secret behind their backs, so I'm choosing not to comply with your request. It's long overdue that this government realises and acknowledges that it works for on behalf of, and is answerable to, the electorate.

Thanks,
Brendan Moore

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.
