The political parties are polarised on Genetically Manipulated (GM) crops and foods according to Gene Ethic’s scorecard of party policies. This reflects the contest between the GM giants and citizens that rages in the wider community. Voters should heed this divide when voting next week. ”The Greens topped the poll, with proactive plans to deal with GM’s environment, health and economic risks on global, national and state levels,” says Gene Ethics director Bob Phelps.
