China “Free Trade” Agreement Debate 6 October

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.

A debate on the China Free Trade Agreement – Adelaide

Will the China FTA be good for local jobs? 

Matt Williams MP, Liberal Member for Hindmarsh is invited to debate Andrew Dettmer, National President, AMWU 

The Turnbull Liberal Government is intent on forcing the China FTA through the Senate before Christmas.

Australian Unions believe the China FTA will:

  • be BAD for local jobs
  • be BAD for workplace safety
  • be BAD for local communities
  • undercut local rates of pay
  • exploit overseas workers

Come hear both sides and decide for yourself!
