OPINION: The Gene Technology Bill has divided the farming community with strong arguments on both the pros and cons of GM.

So when the Health Select Committee’s report on the Gene Tech Bill was extended by a month, the rumour mill went into overdrive.

Organics Aotearoa suggests in a newsletter to members that this could mean that the coalition Government is struggling to agree on the Bill in its current form.

It is urging members to use the extra time to advocate for the Bill to be fundamentally changed.

They may be disappointed because all three parties in the coalition back the use of gene technology and it seems it’s only a matter of time before the Bill becomes law.
