GM ban challenged in the west
28 Jan 2005

The Liberal and National coalition in Western Australia said it may overturn a ban on growing genetically modified crops in the state, if elected to government. The coalition said it would review the moratorium on GM crops. The WA state government last year banned the commercial trial or production of GM crops, amid concerns that new GM canola varieties proposed for release might contaminate other grains and threaten WA's GM-free advantage in export markets.
