Pressure on Chance over GM stand
Agriculture Minister Kim Chance is under renewed pressure to lift the State Government’s moratorium on genetically modified crops. Pastoralists and Graziers Association grain committee chairman Leon Bradley said it was essential the ban was lifted and the Government was denying farmers the technology that would enable them to “stay in the race”. But Mr Chance was standing firm yesterday on the Government’s ban, which prevents the commercial release of all GM crops in WA until at least 2009.
