Australian Minister for Agriculture backs GE wheat
FEDERAL minister for agriculture Tony Burke gave proponents of GM technology a strong leg-up with a ringing endorsement of genetically modified crops at his address yesterday at the Australian Grains Industry Conference. There was also an assurance to the pro-GM lobby in South Australia, the grain-producing state with the strongest State Government opposition to GM and where a moratorium against GM production is still in place, that he had made his views known to the SA government.
