  1. So much for our the Labour Government revoking our rights and democratic right to speak with our own submission before this kangaroo court committee.

    Where was that promise to give us our voice and that they will hear us over our issues.

    Surely hearing our voice over TPP11 should have been our explicit right?

    What a sad day for our loss of democracy we see now.

    This came back today to our ‘pre-submission’

    start;

    Dear Submitter

    Thank you for your submission on the International treaty examination of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership. A copy will be distributed to members of the Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade committee.
    We note that you had requested to make an oral submission to the committee. However the committee has decided it won’t be hearing oral submissions from submitters whose written submission comprised of text from the “It’s Our Future” campaign, available on their website.
    What happens next?
    – After the committee has considered all public submissions and official advice, they’ll share their findings and recommendations with Parliament in a report.
    – The committee’s report, along with all of the submissions and advice, will be publicly released and will be published to the Parliament website http://www.parliament.nz. If you have any concerns about this please contact committee staff.
    – After the committee has presented its report, the item will progress to the next stage and will be considered by Parliament.

    If you would like more information or have any questions then please let us know and we will be happy to help you.

    Yours sincerely,
    Committee Secretariat.
    end;
