AUSTRALIA BEING SOLD OFF ; LATEST WIKILEAKS EXPOSE

With   just  about everything seemingly  up  for sale to overseas interests  and the Federal   and  Queensland  governments  trumpeting  that  the  nation and  the state are  “open for  business ” , Wikileaks  has exposed  how  powerful  forces  ,  in  secret US  talks ,  are   planning  to carve up  the  Pacific  under  the  deceptively named  Trans–Pacific Partnership (TPP).  Hands up how many Australians  have   heard  anything  about  the TPP and  its  likely  ramifications for  the  nation .


  
Across the  Tasman , the  Kiwis , seemingly more  alert  than  we  Australians  and  concerned  about overseas  ownership of their country , have  been demonstrating , see  above , a  graphic from a   post    in   the  latest  American  online NationofChange Progressive Journalism  for Positive  Change- which  explains  what  is  happening .    Wikileaks  published  the full text of  the intellectual property  chapter  which  includes  the  positions  of  all  the  parties, said to reveal massive corporate rigging .  One  response  to  the  leak  was   a comment  that   Australian  Julian  Assange   should be   a  Nobel recipient .   (See NationofChange  for full details and other  reports of  interest ).
