FoE are particluarly concerned about the so-called Investor-State Dispute Resolution (ISDS) sections of free trade agreements, where corporations can sue our governments if they make legislation that impairs profitmaking. This is a direct challenge to sovereignty and environmental, health and safety laws.  Come along to the debate between Matt Williams of the LNP and Andrew Dettmer National President of the Australian Manufacturing Worker’s Union.
