While Patterson pushes for global market access and highlights wool’s export potential, ACT MP Parmjeet Parmar accuses him of hypocrisy, pointing out his taxpayer-funded trip promotes the very deal his party rejects. New Zealand First counters that they’re not anti-free trade — just wary of deals that don’t serve national interests — while also noting ACT backs the FTA despite opposing its climate and indigenous rights clauses. Patterson’s focus remains on boosting wool’s global competitiveness through government-backed innovation and supply chain upgrades.
