The “Women of #nzpol Twitter roundup” is brought to you in the interests of amplifying women’s voices in the political debate and also because:
Yesterday in the wee hours of the morning, the TPP was finally declared signed. Women had thoughts about this thing which isn’t ~a women’s issue~!
How many people in New Zealand woke up for the #TPP news conference? And how many of us are just insomniacs?

Free trade doesn't seem to free. It's not even fair trade. It's just a set of special rules for powerful countries and industries.

If this is a "gold plated deal", I'd hate to see what the Nats think a compromise is. #tpphttp://t.co/xtnMhlmoBy pic.twitter.com/UzMdlT2UsI
