For those that don't know Intergrain Pty Ltd is the company set up in partnership with the Government that West Australians handed over 150 years worth of wheat varieties and intellectual property rights to. This is an appalling thing to have happened - it was the property of the people of Western Australia.
The question we have to ask is why was this done?
Now Monsanto has bought a 20% share in Intergrain with the Government the major shareholder. So the government is a shareholder in a GM research company and at the same time as making decisions about letting GM into Western Australia. Talk about a conflict of interest!
So as you can see the government is not unbiased on this issue - they are complicit.
Harass the Government over this. There SHOULD be a major inquiry. The longer everyone sits on their hands, the more likely this sort of thing will become commonplace. StopGM! wont be sitting down. Watch this space.
