GE contamination in Western Australia raises more questions

A BOYUP Brook farmer has instigated a campaign to have Terry Redman resign from his position as Agriculture and Food Minister over what has been described as WA’s ”GM contamination debacle.” David Kibble has written a letter to his local Member for Parliament recommending he call for the resignation of Mr Redman, support legislation to protect both organic and conventional non-genetically modified farmers and call for a full audit of all GM farms and neighbouring properties. [...] Despite the appeal made by Mr Kibble and numerous industry people, a spokesperson for Mr Redman said the Minister had no comment to make about the campaign except to say he wouldn’t be resigning.
