So it I had it more or less confirmed that both National & Labour forced NZ into the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA, or stupidly renamed 'CPTPPA') because both parties have influential MPs affiliated with the Atlas Network (the same awful folks who founded the ACT party, the TPU, FSU, NZ Initiative, & Curia Polls), whose agents/lawyers in the US wrote the agreement. In doing so, NZ gave up most of our sovereignty to US Corporations.

Saw this coming in 2014. If you want more info I made 2 Select Committee presentations: https://davelane.nz/tppa-submission and https://davelane.nz/tppa-select-committee-presentation to Nat'l and Labour-led Gov'ts respectively (but not respectfully - oh no! Even got a rise out of Nat'ls David Bennett during mine when he looked up from playing games on his phone when I said 'I will consider MPs supporting this legislation traitor to NZ'. He didn't like that. I was right, though.)
