Western Australian farmers disagree over modified canola benefits

A FARMING family from Mukinbudin said the majority of farmers are against the introduction of genetically modified (GM) technology in WA, despite its legalisation last month. State Minister for Agriculture Terry Redman lifted the ban on growing GM canola in February to allow it to be commercially grown this year. The Labor party put forward a motion in parliament last Thursday to reverse the decision, but it was overthrown.
