GM wheat could be commercially grown in Australia - the first country in the world - by 2015 - don't be lulled into thinking we have 7-10 years away before any action is necessary. GM wheat has been big in the media this month.


Concerned mothers rallied outside Prime Minister Julia Gillard's office to express their opposition to the 1300-odd GM wheat trials across Australia. The rally came after Greenpeace took whippersnippers to a CSIRO GM wheat trial in Canberra, to prevent contamination of our food chain and environment.
