GM choice for WA canola growers
Source: Western Australia. Premier. Minister for Agriculture and Food
"The State Government today announced genetically modified (GM) canola could from this year onwards be grown in Western Australia. Agriculture and Food Minister Terry Redman has approved an exemption order under the Genetically Modified Crops Free Areas Act 2003 to permit the cultivation of GM canola, which will offer growers added choice in their cropping systems. This decision brings WA in line with the other major grain-growing States, New South Wales and Victoria, where growers have been able to grow GM canola commercially since 2008."
