The Network of Concerned Farmers (NCF) is threatening legal action against farmers growing GM canola unless risk management is introduced prior to planting. The GM moratoria is set to lapse in Victoria on February 28th and in New South Wales on March 3rd and NCF believe fair risk management has been denied. ”GM contamination will be uncontrollable but no minimum limit of contamination has been set for companies to deduct a user fee from our income,” said Julie Newman, National Spokesperson for the Network of Concerned Farmers. ”Its a blank cheque from farmers incomes to the biotech companies wether you want to grow GM or not.”
