Choice runs ad aimed at informing public about the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement

Choice has ran an advertisement aimed at informing the Australian public about the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement being negotiated in Singapore this weekend.

The ad, which ran in The Australian today, was paid for by more than 11,000 Australians who signed a petition calling on the government to release the draft text of the trade agreement.

Choice CEO Alan Kirkland said in a statement: “Given the government’s reluctance to reveal whether consumers’ interests are on the table, Choice is stepping in to inform Australians about the talks that are dominated by US commercial interests.
