New anti-GMO petition launched in Western Australia

The Say No to GMO campaign launched a new petition in Western Australia this month, asking that liability for contamination of non-genetically modified crops rest with those responsible for bringing GM crops or food into the state. [...] Campaigner Janet Grogan told Green Left Weekly that the petition aimed to turn the liability issue around: ”Instead of farmers suffering the double burden of unwanted contamination and royalty payments or prosecution, we are saying liability must be worn by the biotech companies themselves.”
