As a New Zealander, I have to say this is a load of bollox. The law was drafted by the previous Labour government (Judith Tizzard) and they attempted to have it rammed through before being ousted.
John Key supported the law but has postponed it due to public protest until copyright holders and ISP's can come to an agreement. He has stated that if no agreement can be reached then the whole thing will be canned.

lmao @ free trade with the states,firstly we don't have anything to offer other than meat products & just that alone would cause a fiasco with the over subsidized farmers of the US,i can see the protests & road blockades along with cow pat flinging machinery pointed towards the white house..lol.. would be better off sticking to free trade with the Asian & Indian markets as they're the growing markets closer to us,yeah anyway there's a number of protests going on,a few popular websites had blackouts,talk back radio's a buzz etc,so it's not quite done n dusted yet

The US is a huge market and we have plenty to offer besides meat and dairy. I work for an engineering company specializing in heavy transport and every time our dollar bottoms out we have suited up yanks strutting through our workshop. We have made a lot of money shipping our products to the states. On the other hand, the asian market is a direct threat to us, we expect a good wage for our skills and know how, they are willing to work for a cup of rice.

I thought the New Zealand PM was a suspiciously butch woman who looked like a brick builder in drag with a voice like Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino.
I need to download a politics google update to my cyber unit :)

20 years ago it was Taiwan not long after Korean now it's China that's producing cheap n nasty crap,India will more than likley be the next,the Asian market is more important to us than you realize,it's the biggest growing market & the more growth then the more materials,trade & skills they'll need,company's like fonterra will take advantage of it including coal exporters,iron sand & most probably yours,considering the economic climate now we need free trade deals with these markets more than ever
