Thursday 9 August
GE Debate
12.30pm
Student Centre (Level 1, opposite Bennetts) WSU
NB this is in addition to the evening event at the Trade Union centre which we advertised in our 3/08/2012 newsletter.
The Green Party have organised a GE tour involving taking two Australian farmers, (Julie Newman and Bob Mackley), around New Zealand to talk with people about their experiences of the GE crops grown in their regions.
They will share their findings on the effects the release of GE crops have had on their communities and businesses. Julie and Bob will also cover the issues of liability and co-existence for organic and non-GM farmers.
