Payne, Sen Marise

Senator PAYNE (New South Wales—Minister for Human Services) (14:20): Let me repeat, the government's position is clear. We will not accept any outcome in the TPP that would adversely affect Australia's health system. We will not sign up to any international agreement that restricts Australia's capacity to govern in its own interest, whether in the area of health care, the environment or any other regulated area of the economy.
