Really, if we don ‘t have a say then how is a petition going to help?

The countries involved in the negotiations are America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, Brunei, Singapore, Chile and Peru. Interestingly, while the Australian government has joined others to insist that the TPP negotiations remain secret, the environmental text explicitly calls for public consultation processes to be put in place.

The leaked TPP environment chapter has been conveniently uploaded by wikileaks:

If foreign companies don’t like our environmental laws (or changes to them) I think they should just f off. Aussie companies have to abide by them.

Whilst I agree.. though constantly, Australian companies are offshoring. Can anyone be trusted when it comes down to the company profit sheet?
