The Government’s TPP Rhetoric (code for bullshit)

[nenagh]

9. I've just read the portion of the TPP from the above...

but in the environment & labour sections above (para 1 & 3), the initial portions of the sentences seem to promise "Unicorns" in both the environment & labour sectors..

but the last portion of the sentences, in each case, seem to say that if there is a dispute about the "Unicorns" (whether they become strong, people friendly Unicorns or weakened, Trojan Horse-type Unicorns)

that the settlement of those disputes shall be SUBJECT TO the SAME "Dispute Settlement Mechanism"

If the TPP has been written by corporate lawyers for their clients.. one wonders what is written into the dispute settlement mechanism that may preserve the labour rights we already have.. or current environmental protections etc..

So, as the OP says...flowery rhetoric everywhere...but what does it really mean vs the regulations/ laws that will determine whether the final product is a unicorn, a ghost of a unicorn or an anti-unicorn.
