But the point is that this treaty will have provisions to restrict the public, we think, but they won't tell us. This is called Policy Laundering, this general practice; instead of democratically considering a law, which means the public gets to know what's being considered, gets to talk to the legislators, sees how they voted and so on, in secret they negotiate a treaty and then they come back and they say &ldquo;we can't change the treaty and we obviously can't refuse it, so we're all now, we've just arranged for our country to be stuck with this law.&rdquo;
