GM canola opposers in New South Wales (Australia) were muzzled, says expert committee

The State’s Primary Industries Minister Ian Macdonald approved the commercial production of GM canola about two weeks ago on the recommendation of the Government’s Expert Committee on Gene Technology. But two of its members say the committee is stacked with proponents of GM crops who have downplayed and marginalised the dissenting members’ concerns. And the pair say they could be risking a jail sentence by speaking out.
