GENETICALLY MODIFIED CANOLA — SPILLAGE THREAT
What a disappointing answer. As a supplementary question, why has the minister run away and left the farmers, as he has mentioned, the shires, as he has mentioned, and CBH, as he has mentioned, to deal with this problem when he caused it? Mr D.T. REDMAN

AnswerView source ↗

The Liberal–National government has provided the farming community of Western Australia choice; the community is able to choose a technology that has been in the national marketplace for over 15 years. We will remain progressive in terms of our support for the agricultural sector in Western Australia.
