The ISDS to which the senator refers is a provision in free trade agreements that I think have now been part and parcel—and I stand corrected—in about 20-plus arrangements, including ones that the former Labor government negotiated.

This is the sort of immature and very un-Australian approach that Senator Wong is taking to these free trade agreements.
