Gegmo Reform Misinformation

Yeah, well, I don't think they've gone into it too much, that small Walton and something that Walt's led into. Interestingly challenging Fed's position and quite often putting a bit of misinformation out there. Now, it's long been thought that Fed's is, you know, kind of full-on G and GMO and, you know, push it through and get it through as quick as we can, but that's, again, far from the truth. It's misinformation. At our 2024 National Council meeting, there was a... actually that every farmer should have the right to choose and that's a really important statement because it actually protects those farmers that don't want to use GE or GMO and ensures that they can carry on to do what they want to do without being affected by GMO and so uh you know this this statement that says they're just trying to push it through there's some dirty deals going on or it's far from the truth you know i'm i'm out there meeting with organic farmers i'm meeting with organics new zealand i'm seeing what we can do and how how we can adjust things to make it work uh it's also a much bigger a much bigger issue than just just farming so the the gene tech bill does cover off uh human health it covers off conservation and other areas as well so we have to be careful when we when we're saying no to the gene tech bill that we're not actually you know is that all of the gene tech bill or is it just some of the gene tech bill or what are we actually working on here but Certainly. If I've been doing anything in my job for the last two years, it's been protecting those farmers that don't want it, probably more than those that do, to allow it if we can use it and we can use it safely.
