Western Australian Premier does not support development of GE wheat

Commercial production of genetically modified wheat appears to be off the table for WA growers, after Premier Colin Barnett refused to back it. Mr Barnett told Parliament on Tuesday he supported GM canola and cotton, but not GM wheat. [...] Following a visit to Japan earlier this month, Mr Barnett said: ”We are not contemplating GM wheat and I did note Japanese consumers would not support GM wheat.”
