Grey Power Concerned At Secret Deals and Their Impact on Elderly New Zealanders As Well As the Population as a Whole
The Government seems hell-bent on committing NZ to the TPPA prior to the next election while refusing to release any details to the NZ public.
Grey Power has real concerns about the impact of this agreement on several areas of NZ life: Huge increases in the cost of medicines. Multi-national corporations dictating NZ policy and laws.
