GM-Free Rally

Etc/GMT+11

PARLIAMENT HOUSE steps, Spring St, Melbourne. 12pm Thursday 28 February.

Premier Brumby will lapse the Victorian ban on Genetically Manipulated (GM) canola on February 29. South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania and the ACT will keep their GM bans. NSW will allow commercial GM canola to be grown on a case-by-case basis. Only Victoria will permit GM canola to be grown, unrestricted and unregulated.

But that's not the end... We can still win a GM-free future!!

Voice your outrage that Brumby will take away our GM-free food and crop choices, with Mothers Aganist Genetic Engineering (MAdGE) and Gene Ethics.

Be there for a symbolic release of GM contaimination at 12.45pm. Wear yellow and bring GM-free food to share. Also bring a canola product that you will boycott after February 28, since it may contain Victorian GM canola.

WE WON'T SWALLOW GM FOODS.
