GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROPS - DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND FOOD
(1) Has the Department of Agriculture and Food, or its research partners, entered into any agreements or contracts that require the department or its research partners to support or promote genetically modified crops? (2) If yes to (1), who are the parties to the agreements or contracts? (3) If yes to (1), what do the agreements or contracts require of the department or its research partners? (4) Will the minister table any agreements or contracts? Hon KIM CHANCE

AnswerView source ↗
I always take the view that a convoluted question deserves a straightforward answer. However, on this occasion the member will get a convoluted answer, because that is the best I can do! (1) The Department of Agriculture and Food has no direct agreements or contracts to support or promote genetically modified crops. I think the honourable member would be prepared to accept that the term “support or promote” is somewhat subjective; that is why the answer gets a bit tortuous. The department has numerous research partners, particularly through its involvement in national cooperative research centres, including universities, government agencies, research and development corporations, industry organisations and companies. Clearly it is not possible to state accurately whether those partners have entered into any such agreements or contracts. The department is a participant in two cooperative research centres that are conducting research and development for genetically modified crops. They are the molecular plant breeding CRC, and the CRC for cotton catchment communities. (2) The details of the objectives, activities and partners in the two CRCs are readily available on their web sites - www.molecularplantbreeding.com and www.cotton.pi.csiro.au. I am not in a position to advise whether any of the other parties to these CRCs may have entered into such agreements or contracts. (3) CRCs - and, as a result, their partners - enter into a range of agreements and contracts to access, develop and commercialise technology, which may include technology for genetically modified crops. If the member takes the conduct of research and development for genetically modified crops to constitute support and promotion, then the signing of the CRC participants agreement makes the department a party to such activity. Similarly, if the member takes the education program Get into Genes, in which the molecular plant breeding CRC is a partner, to be support and promotion, then the department is a party to such activity. (4) It would be impractical for me to table all agreements and contracts that might fit the broad specifications in the member’s question, particularly as neither the government nor the department has access to the agreements and contracts of research partners.
