CW: NZ Labour's wealth fund...
They'd have to pull NZ out of the #CPTPPA first. Which I think would be entirely appropriate. I might even vote for them if they were really going to do that. Otherwise, nah, they're too big-business-pandering, no longer pro labour. [2/2]
[NZ Labour's wealth fund...]
I can't help but wonder how NZ Labour, with their tepid 'national investment fund', are planning to combat secret (from all NZers) ISDS suits from multinational corporations if they deem such policies might affect their profits in NZ. They'd have to pull NZ out of […]

and why their bad faith means we need to *jettison* the ones we're beholden to, especially the #CPTPPA . We must dishonour them, because they were never honourable to begin with. [2/2]
[NZPol Show the US Corps the door]

Listening to Chippy on RNZ, it seems that our having signed up for the #CPTPPA agreement has tied our hands regarding blocking 'golden passports' for wealthy foreigners wanting to 'buy into' Aotearoa, like Thiel did. [1/2]

@SimonCHulse @donkey @vwdasher yup, they're no longer relevant - they're just as pwned by the rich/business class as National these days - their support for the #CPTPPA was a real betrayal.
[NZPol global trade, CPTPPA]
www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/557915/ca... So now NZ's gov't is calling for both China and the EU to enter the CPTPPA to circumvent the US... but it locks all the participating country into a system *designed […]
