Request for draft text of the TPPA

Maxine van Rijn made this Official Information request to Minister of Trade

The request was refused by Minister of Trade.

From: Maxine van Rijn

Dear Minister of Trade,

It is vital to release the draft text of the TPPA to the public, as it is the public that will be affected, should the deal go through. The trade agreement may curb individuals' internet freedom and impact the use of currently free media.
Therefore the public should be informed and able to form educated opinions about whether this trade agreement is in every person's best interests.

Yours faithfully,
Maxine van Rijn

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.
