The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) is a “free trade” currently under negotiation between NZ and 8 other countries, the U.S., Australia, Brunei, Chile, Malaysia, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam. 
Trade is only a minor part of the agreement. That’s just a clever branding exercise. A TPPA would be an agreement that guarantees special rights to foreign investors, and large Corporations. If these negotiations succeed they will create a mega-treaty across 9 countries that will put a straight-jacket around what policies and laws our governments can adopt for the next century — think GM labelling, foreign investment laws, price of medicines, regulating dodgy finance firms, NZ content on TV and so forth.
