ABOUT 60 people attended an anti-genetically modified protest on the steps of Parliament House last week. Protestors came from throughout the State, before a 5000-signature petition was tabled in the Legislative Council by Greens GM spokesperson Lynn MacLaren and Labor MP Sally Talbot. The petition called for an inquiry into the government decision to lift the GM canola ban and the process behind the recent sale to Monsanto of a 19.9 per cent stake in the government-owned crop breeding company Intergrain.
