RCEP agreement will legitimise the military dictatorship in Myanmar and fails to provide benefit to Australian workers. 28 July 2021
The ACTU has called on the Morrison Government not to ratify the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) agreement, which includes Myanmar’s military junta, at today’s JSCOT inquiry.
RCEP has been negotiated behind closed doors between Australia, China, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Despite its size, there is no evidence that the RCEP agreement will benefit Australian workers.
The ACTU argues that ratifying RCEP will:
Legitimise the Tatmadaw military junta dictatorship in Myanmar which has already killed over 900 innocent civilians.
