[asia-apec 260] not against APEC?

[Gerard Greenfield]

I see that in entertaining the press MPFA organisers have announced that
they are not against APEC and want to make it a better, people &
environmentally friendly APEC. In saying this they have spoken on behalf 
of a number of organisations which have clearly rejected APEC. Rather
than allowing for this diversity of opinion, they've given the
impression of consensus. So much for participation! I look forward to
seeing who gets to have access to power in the corridors of APEC
among the so-called NGO community!

Hopefully the Big Brothers will explain how neoliberalism is to be
accepted then modified to include "people's concerns for human rights,
gender, social equity and environmental sustainability"?
