The process for the TPP to enter into force is the same process that has been in force for 20 years. The Korea and Japan free trade agreements have been subject to the same process for treaties in Australia. Both were supported by the opposition, and we welcome that support. The process is the same as for the Chile and Malaysia free trade agreements, which occurred under the Rudd-Gillard-Rudd governments. Free trade agreements with New Zealand, Singapore and the US, amongst others, have all gone through the same process. The TPP will follow the usual proper processes of all other FTAs to be entered into by Australia in the last two decades.
