What can you do?
- If you live in one of the GM growing shires (see list above) contact your local CEO, President and or councillors with the media release and ask them what steps they will put into place to avoid GM contamination to protect non GM and organic farmers.
- Write a letter to the paper (The West Australian letters@wanews.com.au) and your local newspaper to highlight the problem, and the fact that shires may have to use harsher chemicals to eradicate GM canola.
- Write to Terry Redman Minister.Redman@dpc.wa.gov.au and Colin Barnett Premier.Barnett@dpc.wa.gov.au expressing how unfair it is for shires to have to foot the bill for a product that should be the responsibility of the producer.
- Contact your local MP and ask them what role they are taking to protect WA from the advent of GM canola contamination.
