Will anything I do actually help?

We must do what we can. If a trade deal like the TPP goes through - it is going to change the quality of life for all Australiians and for most it will make it worse.

We are supposedly living in a democracy and this means that the people have a say in what policies and statutes are passed into law. When there are 'free trade agreements' like the TPP which revoke the right of the government to make its own laws to protect the environment and protect people's rights - this must be understood as an attempt by the money wielding corporate world to steal our rights - just because they lose potential profits in a world where we keep our rights. The only way the corporates and the politicians can get away with this sneaky politics is by implied consent and this means if you don't stand up for your rights, it will be assumed you have consented to having them removed.

By standing up for stopping the TPP and rallying as much public support as possible, we create the ball rolling for more people to get on board and as more people do, the government has to listen. We will not allow the TPP to go through without our voices being heard and the countries involved being told what is happening right underneath their noses.

The TPP is a secret trade deal, negotiated by corporate bureaucrats and then passed onto political officials to be signed into law, the public has no say in any step of the way unless we make that say.

And if something like this goes through and we have made as much noise as we can (letters to officials, rallies, flyer handouts and letterboxing, petitions, creative protests, see here ) - we must reassess the value of the government and realise it is meant to be representative of us. If it is not doing this, by our power, AS the government, WE remove it and put in place an equal uncorrupt system.

We either face the pain of change now, or face a future of greater pain in the long run.

Again: A government can only have our consent because it is implied - if we make it clear it is not implied and we do not consent, it is within our rights to arrest the government.

Ignorance + Inaction = Consent

The TPP is a corporate take-over of Australian Sovereignty (that is the Australian people's right to make their own laws for their own country), we need to stop this atrocity from happening and in stopping it we can learn better to take responsibility for our own laws, politics and banking system. We must all become politically active in order to make the change to a sustainable system for all. We must make measures to protect Australia from predatory-capitalism of multi-national corporations.

If we are successful, it is important to realise that this is not just a one off - once we are activated we must keep going until this profit motive government is strapped into regulations that we the people put in place. Things like the TPP will pop up again and again as long as we the people continue to take such a 'won't touch it with a long stick' approach to politics.

By our silence and inaction we consent to the surrender of our sovereignty.

HANDS OFF AUSTRALIA! WE STAND!
