Inquiry Into New Zealand's Economic And Trade Relationship With Australia
SPADA urges the Select Committee to recommend that a side agreement be negotiated to the Trade In Services Protocol for CER to allow for a specific cultural exception for a quota system when both countries operate such a mechanism, and also to recommend that the concept of cultural exceptions to trade negotiations be incorporated into trade policy

Employment Relations Bill
SPADA is primarily concerned that clause 6 of the Bill, the definition of an employee, and Clause 81, dealing with fixed term contracts, do not fit with the procedures and practices of the screen production industry as they relate to the provision of goods and services by independent contractors. These procedures and practices are standard in the international screen production industry.
