Australia should ratify TPP 11: report

An inquiry into the 11-country strong Trans-Pacific Partnership recommends Australia ratify the deal to make the region more secure.

Australia should ratify the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact, a parliament joint standing committee recommends.

The treaties committee report also recommends reviewing Australia's bilateral trade deals with TPP 11 parties, and to withdraw from those that no longer benefit local businesses.

The TPP-11 agreement is between Australia, Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, Brunei, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, Peru and Chile, with the US pulling out of the deal when Donald Trump became president.
