Welcome
to the Brave New World.
This
is what New Zealanders voted for after having been amply warned.
4
February, 2016 is the day when New Zealand reverts back to being a
colony again after 208 years as a sovereign nation (New Zealand
ceased to be a colony in 1907).
Riot
training for police ahead of TPP signing
New
Zealand police have been undertaking mass riot training ahead of the
signing of the Trans-Pacific Partnership in Auckland next month.
22
January, 2016
The
trade agreement, which has sparked widespread controversy due to its
closed-door negotiations, will be signed by international diplomats
on February 4.
Dozens
of large-scale protests have been held across the country as the five
years of negotiations for the deal came to a close in the US last
year.
The
New Zealand Herald understands that increased riot training --
officially known as public order training -- has been taking place
ahead of the signing, as police prepare for more possible civil
unrest.
Police
Association vice-president Senior Sergeant Luke Shadbolt said that
the TPP signing was the focus of annual public order training.
The
Herald understands that the training goes over and above previous
annual training, and involved more staff on a "mass" scale.
Police
National Manager of Response and Operations Chris Scahill said police
were responsible for all security aspects of the event.
He
would not be drawn on any operational details for the event --
including staff numbers.
"We
can however say that we plan for every eventuality which can be
anticipated, and the measures we take will be appropriate and
thorough.
"The
police operation will be overseen by Police National Headquarters,
and will involve staff from a number of police districts."
Under
the 12-nation TPP trade deal, New Zealand joins a club that accounts
for 40 per cent of the world economy.
The
TPP will eliminate tariffs on 93 percent of New Zealand's exports to
the United States, Japan, Canada, Mexico, and Peru.
The
Government estimates the agreement will be worth at least $2.7
billion a year by 2030 for New Zealand.
