Release the Trade Deal Paperwork, Settle the Debate

Responding to the public disagreement between the Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister over the India trade deal, Taxpayers’ Union spokesperson James Ross said:

“Kiwis shouldn’t have to rely on hearsay and rumour to work out what their Government has committed them to.”

“When two of New Zealand’s most senior politicians are sniping at each other over a deal the public still can’t read, it’s absurd to not give Kiwis the chance to work out the truth for themselves.”

“Regardless of the content, the agreement has already been signed in New Zealanders’ name. What’s the harm in some public accountability?”
