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?"
