All Black legend Piri Weepu has been voicing his dissapointment with the National government’s negotiations on the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) .  The majority of former All Blacks have endorsed the National government.e.g Jonah Lomu, Israel Dagg

Weepu is the exception and has been critical of the governments position on the TPPA.

Why should Key and co get to dictate what my kids and their kids futures should be.. We as a parents should help decide.. Say no to TPPA!!
