9 Countries
1 Secret Deal
Selling Australian democracy to foreign corporate interests.

JOIN US early on the opening day for a mass demonstration of our objection to this attempt to highjack our country for corporate 1% interests.

1st March
7.00am onwards
Melbourne Convention Centre to make our voices heard!
Bring lots of instruments, signs and of course a non violent attitude.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement is a free trade deal being made in secret. If negotiations for the TPPA succeed they will create a mega-treaty across nine or more countries that puts a straightjacket on the policies and laws our government can adopt for the next century and give massive new powers to corporations.

If the USA get their way this agreement will remove the rights of the Australian Government to legislate in the best interests of the Australian people if it threatens the profitability of corporations in mining, the environment. media, IP, civil liberties, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, food security, entertainment and much more.

This is a secret deal that by passes our parliament and is designed to empower corporations in ways we have never seen before.

THIS IS OCCUPY CORE BUSINESS!

We need CRITICAL MASS on the opening day of the secret talks and we need an occupation over the whole 9 days!

SPREAD THE WORD

Lets fill the streets
