Today’s story in the Australian that the Turnbull Government will introduce legislation to implement the Trans-Pacific Partnership shows just how out of touch Malcom Turnbull is.
President-elect Trump has made it clear that the United States will withdraw from the TPP.
Unless the United States ratifies the TPP it does not come into effect and President-elect Trump has made it clear that’s not going to happen.
Malcolm Turnbull wants to pass legislation to implement an agreement that will never exist, at least not in its current form.

Malcolm Turnbull should stop pretending he can change Donald Trump’s mind and start working on a real plan for our economy.
Malcolm Turnbull promised ‘Jobs and Growth’. Instead the economy has gone backwards and 46,000 full time jobs were lost in 2016.
Australia needs action, not nothing announcements from a do-nothing government.
