GM disallowance motion voted down in Western Australia

FARMERS and grains industry members have attended a critical sitting of WA Parliament, to support Agriculture Minister Terry Redman, and witness a fiery debate over a disallowance motion proposed in the Legislative Assembly, designed to prevent the growing of Genetically Modified canola in the State this year. The disallowance motion was proposed by Shadow Agriculture Minister Mick Murray. But after a day of political jostling and a three hour debate in the Lower House between 4pm and 7pm, the motion was eventually dismissed 26 to 24.
