Monsanto Roundup Ready soybean crop
- We don't want GM - it poses very real and irreversible long-term risks to human and environmental health.
- GM is not traditional breeding and the consequences of transferring genes in this way are not fully understood and the technology currently used to genetically modify living organisms such as plants or animals is crude and imprecise.
- There are important issues, like liability and coexistence, which Government isn't properly addressing. Rigorous legislation for these must be in place before Government makes up its mind on GM commercialisation.
- The timing and information given out by the Public Debate has been very poor.
- The real public debate on GM has been going on for the last 5 years and the results are very clear - people don't want GM.
