Join me in lobbying our elected representatives 2 continue requiring all GM organisms 2 be regulated under the Gene Technology Act 2000 & apply the precautionary principle 2 the development and release of all GM organisms in Australia then let consumers make their own choices 5/5
Australia could become one of the first countries in the world 2 deregulate several genetic modification (GM) techniques in animals, plants and microbes. Anyone could use techniques like CRISPR to genetically modify animals without the regulator or the rest of us knowing #gmo 4/5
Nearly three decades of work by thousands of farmers is under threat because many GMOs (as defined by our export markets) will no longer be registered, regulated or labelled in Australia. https://t.co/YHNOQaO1mj @GMOFreeUSA@GMWatch @GMOfreeEurope #gmo 3/5
All Genetically Modified (GM) organisms should continue to be assessed for safety before being released into our environment and our food supply chains. @GMOFreeUSA@GMWatch @GMOfreeEurope #gmo 2/5
Hidden in plain sight: Are you aware of proposed changes to GMO regulations in Australia? The Australian Government is voting soon, to deregulate some gene editing methods from 8 October 2019. @GMOFreeUSA@GMWatch @GMOfreeEurope #gmo 1/5
