If the government gets its way and pushes the TPP through parliament, multinational corporations will have enormous powers to remove our hard won regulations and protection of local jobs and industries, affordable medicines, our clean environment, workers’ rights, clean food production; and undermine our national sovereignty and our democratic right to decide what kind of country we want to live and work in. Speakers: Ged Kearney (President, ACTU); Jane Kelsey (New Zealand Academic, long-time TPP campaigner); Kelvin Thompson (ALP Member for Wills); Deborah Gleeson (Public Health Association). 7pm. Lower Melbourne Town Hall, Swanston St, City.
