Government pressured to identify GM-tainted canola

A new case of pure canola seeds being contaminated by genetically 
modified (GM) varieties is putting pressure on the Victorian 
Government to find the source of the contaminations.
                                  
Incidents have occurred in Victoria and Western Australia, and 
last week in South Australia.
                                  
The Network of Concerned Farmers' Wimmera spokesman, Geoffrey 
Carracher, says the State Government should hurry up their 
investigations. He says a "contamination exit strategy" must 
be developed.
                                  
"You clean up and if you can find the seed that's caused it, to 
spray that out now so that it doesn't contaminate this year's 
crop, and so that we get back to our GE [genetic engineering]-free 
status," he said. 
                                  
"We can't have contamination and expect the non-GM farmer to 
pick up the cost of it because there'll be reduced opportunities 
for the sale of our grain."
