GM Moratorium

A big win this week with SA’s GM Moratorium extended till 2025. The Greens Mark Parnell shepherded his Bill through the SA Upper House. http://www.farmonline.com.au/story/5064557/sa-set-to-extend-gm-moratorium/

Our media release is here.

But passage through the SA lower house isn’t a formality. The SA Government must pass it in the last sitting week (27-29 Nov) before Parliament rises for the March 18, 2018 election.

To ensure the Genetically Modified Crops Management Regulations (Postponement of Expiry) Bill 2017 passes into law, please email:

  • “Health Minister Peter Malinauskas MLC ” <Healthministerforhealth@sa.gov.au>
  • “Premier Jay Weatherill” <cheltenham@parliament.sa.gov.au> and
  • “Leon Bignell – Minister for Agriculture” <ministerleonbignell@sa.gov.au>
