I am more concerned about what is going to happen regarding medications and the PBS.
"...raising obstacles to the introduction of generic drugs and medicines. The leaked treaty text also reveals new US and Japanese proposals designed to enhance the ability of pharmaceutical manufacturers to extend and widen their patents on drugs and medicines."
"...effectively allowing ''evergreening'' of existing patents"
"Prime Minister Tony Abbott has indicated he is keen to see the trade talks pushed to a successful conclusion next month..."
"The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade recently excluded journalists from TPP industry briefings held in anticipation of the next round of negotiations that begins in Salt Lake City, Utah, next week."
Why the rush by TA and why are journalists excluded ???
