Labor MLA Mick Murray has asked Agriculture Minister Terry Redman curly questions about the Monsanto/InterGrain alliance in Parliament this week. (Go to link - 8 September Wednesday - Legislative Assembly, and scroll down to page 6163)
While Murray determined to find the price paid for the deal, Redman refused by claiming the ‘need to respect the confidentiality of the value that Monsanto paid’.
And continues ‘When growers are faced with seasons such as we are having now, drought conditions, the challenges of high-priced fertilisers and so on, we need to make sure that we have varieties that can deal with those challenges’.
We know what that means... GM varieties only (as stated by InterGrain CEO) and non GM farmers will have to make do with old varieties leaving us with no choice but GM.
Please send an email of support to Mick Murray, and ask him to continue the pressure, and call for a committee to look into the whole WA GM scandal:
Mick Murray mick.murray@mp.wa.gov.au
Terry Redman Minister.Redman@dpc.wa.gov.au
Colin Barnett Premier.Barnett@dpc.wa.gov.au
And get onto your local member as well.
