People Power Will Defeat The TPP

I received this in an email from the Greens and while we have plenty to disagree on, this one has my total support!
Malcolm Turnbull and his Trade Minister have just signed Australians up to a revived version of the TPP. If you haven’t read much of the detail, that’s not by accident. This is a dodgy deal designed behind closed doors — by corporations, for corporations.
We need your help to make sure this zombie Trans-Pacific Partnership stays in the ground.
There’s a lot at stake. Together with dangerous ISDS clauses that allow foreign multinationals to sue Australia, causing cancer medication costs to go through the roof, and Australian jobs disappearing offshore, this is the sort of deal you get when you favour corporations over communities.
The good news is that just because Malcolm Turnbull has signed us up to the revamped TPP, he’ll still need to pass legislation through the Parliament for it to come into effect.
That means we have a chance to use the power of the Senate to shine a light on what exactly the Government is hitching our wagon to.
Corporations have written this deal. The Turnbull Government hasn’t even released the text. We’ve had to rely on other governments to show us what our government is trying to force on us.
They don’t want the community to see what’s being committed to, because they know what happens when everyday Australians smell a rat – they fight back.
And the Greens will always be there to fight with you. Because we know, together, we can stop this.
We’re going to throw all we can at this deal to expose the dangers it poses to Australia, and to defeat it in the Parliament.

We can’t win this on our own. We need your help. Can we count on you?
With thanks,
