Agriculture and Food Minister Kim Chance this week introduced legislation into the Western Australian Parliament designed to further protect the State’s moratorium on the growing of Genetically Modified (GM) crops. The Seeds Amendment Bill 2007 will allow the Minister to declare GM seed to be ’prohibited seed’. ”Under the proposed changes, it will be an offence to import, sell or be in possession of prohibited seed in WA for the purposes of cultivation,” Mr Chance said.
