TPPA
QUESTION: "Some say the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement gives too much power to overseas companies, because they can use the Investor State Disputes System to challenge the Government. Some argue this will restrict New Zealand's sovereignty, which is our ability to make our own laws and govern ourselves."
"Others say the agreement has very little impact on our sovereignty because other countries can't write our laws, and because the agreement goes both ways, and also protects New Zealand companies when investing in overseas markets."
"Which of these best describe your view on the TPPA ?"
Impact Sov Concerned = TPPA will have an impact on our sovereignty and I'm concerned about it
Impact Sov Not Concerned = TPPA will have an impact on our sovereignty but it's not a big concern
Not Impact = TPPA won't have much impact on our sovereignty
DK = Don't Know
