Given this, are we to expect that next time a cigarette company wants to withhold the evidence that smoking will take 11 years off the life of every second smoker, they just need to do a dodgy deal with National to build a convention centre with added ciggie sale points right?
Or the booze barons could build a convention centre / mega-bar and no papers will be allowed out on alcohol harm either presumably?
At what point do the best interests of New Zealanders get to trump the best interests of foreign corporates?
One can hardly see National fighting hard against Investor-State in the TPP given this…
