Since the naming of the geographic locations of the genetically modified crop field trials in Western Australia, to the minister’s knowledge have any concerns been raised by neighbours about these trials with either the Department of Agriculture or with the minister's office?  If so, what concerns have been raised? Hon KIM CHANCE

That is a very good question.  In short, the answer is no.  No issues have been raised with me by neighbours of named trial sites.  Issues may have been raised with the Department of Agriculture, but at this stage the department has not made me aware of any such concerns.
