Subject: Official Information Act request - Request for draft text of TPPA agreement before it is signed

Dear Minister of Trade,

Why can other countries see the TPPA documents before they are approved and why do they have the rite challenge theses document and refuse them while we the New Zealand public cannot?.

We the people of New Zealand believe we have the rite to lawfully see any draft agreement prior to it being considered for approval.

The public of New Zealand wants to see the draft of the TPPA documents before any decisions on moving forward with this Bill are considered, we are all extremely concerned about our rite to the freedom and integrity of the internet that was never meant to restricted for the gains of corporations and governments. It is a gift to the citizens of the world and as such should be left alone by big business and Governments alike, our intellectual property is at stake our rites to freedom of access to information at at stake and as a people as a nation as a global population we are demanding we allowed our concerns to be heard and to be acted upon.

Governments are elected to represent the people of the Nation, they are not elected to serve their own interests or those of Corporations!.

Yours faithfully, Mr David Strickland
