Western Australian Agriculture Minister broke promise on GE canola containment

AGRICULTURE Minister Terry Redman has broken his promise that there would be no contamination of non-genetically modified crops by nearby GM farms, Shadow Minister for Agriculture Mick Murray said on Monday. [...] ”The financial impacts of the contamination could be devastating and it is only a matter of time before more non-GM crop farmers will be forced to pay for the Barnett Government’s reckless stance on GM crops. [...] Nannup organic farmer Bee Winfield agreed. [...] ”We warned Redman a buffer zone of five metres was a joke.”
