Whilst Australia seems unconcerned about the TPPA, over the ditch the Kiwis are up in arms and have taken to the streets.
As David Campbell reports, thousands of New Zealanaders took to the streets in 20 cities, chanting "TPPA, no way". There were 1,500 protestors in Auckland alone. The fear is that medicine prices will go up. That's probably just the beginning of it. Australia, meanwhile, quietly accepts its passage. Perhaps we should listen to our Kiwi cousins more often.
Balls Radio is like talk radio, but for thinking people. Now a short daily occurrence, Phil Dobbie offers his opinions on what's happening, in the UK and overseas: politics, social policy, economics, science, religion. Yes, it's another, slightly overweight middle-aged white man telling the world how it should be. But there's nothing alt-right about Balls Radio. And we try and have fun along the way.
