THREE Government MPs have publicly disparaged any easing of Victoria’s ban on the commercial planting of genetically modified canola crops, setting them at odds with Premier John Brumby and other senior Labor ministers.The MPs’ feelings on the controversial issue are laid bare in their submissions to a review panel which is considering whether to permit GM canola farming in Victoria.Mr Brumby, a supporter of GM technology, has confirmed he will stick with former Premier Steve Bracks’ position of not allowing a conscience vote of Labor MPs on the contentious issue.
