Stop the zombie TPP!

The TPP was called the “worst trade deal ever.” Now it’s back from the dead, and the worst aspects of the deal for women are still included.

The CPTPP – the ‘zombie TPP’ – has just passed through the House of Representatives with support from both the LNP and the ALP. And last night the Senate Inquiry into the CPTPP released its report, and admits that the deal could negatively impact on women’s rights.

Subject:

I am writing as your constituent to call on you to vote to block the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (the CPTPP) implementing legislation in the Senate in October.

This deal poses a huge threat to women’s economic justice in the region, and is inconsistent with the Government’s commitments to promoting gender equality and women’s economic empowerment.

If the CPTPP goes ahead, it will drive women’s wages down and undermine women’s rights at work in industries like the garment sector in low income countries, which is made up of nearly 80% women. It would encourage the privatisation of services like health and education, which are essential for achieving gender equality, and gives corporations the right to sue for damages if governments try to take back control.

I understand that the CPTPP implementing legislation has passed the lower house, and is likely to be considered in the Senate in the coming weeks. As a concerned voter from your constituency, I am calling on you to:

1. Block the CPTPP implementing legislation in the Senate
2. Commit to conducting gender impact assessments of all future trade deals prior to signing
3. Increase the transparency and accountability of all future trade negotiations
