Two dozen Colville residents joined in the nation-wide day of
protest against the TPPA.

They are concerned that under the TPPA and its dispute provisions, a NZ government could be sued by multinational mining companies, just as the multinational mining company, Oceania Gold is currently suing El Salvador.

As the banner says, if the TPP trade deal is so good, why the secrecy?”
