Speeches given at rally in opposition to the China-Australia free trade agreement on Monday 27 July 2015 in Brisbane.
The China FTA is a wide-ranging agreement between Australia and China that was negotiated in secret without public or parliamentary input. It gives Chinese companies preferential treatment in Australia.
Some clauses contained within the agreement are alarming and could seriously undermine the safety and integrity of our trade and rob Australian workers of opportunities. Any claimed benefits are far outweighed by the damage it does to working Australians.
