TPP text released online by New Zealand

New Zealand, one of the signatories of the Trans Pacific Partnership, has posted the much awaited text of the agreement online. 

New Zealand has put the text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) online, offering the first detailed look at the world’s largest free trade deal, the most ambitious effort in years to remove barriers to commerce. 

The New Zealand government, which signed on to the deal, put the contents of the agreement on its website on Thursday, saying it would continue to undergo legal review. The Guardian

I understand there was quite a bit of pressure within New Zealand for the trade minister to release the full text. In these days of the internet, all it took was for one of the signatory countries to release it and the whole world would then know.
