transgenics or any gmo for that matter aren't the done thing here in aus'
yet, don't know when the tide will get us but? i would suggest the corn story
not to be true unless the government has completely pulled the wool over our
eyes. latest story here is that monsanto (pharmacia) have over planted their gmo
cotton (trialing i think) so they look like maybe getting fined and the crops
will have to be ploughed in.

Subject: Corn in Australia-GMO´s
Dear Australian friends--
A young Australian woman just passed through here
and said that because of transgenics (GMO´s), there are no more local
varieties of corn in Australia, all have been substituted or contaminated by
GMO´s...
Is that true? In Brazil we are still
keeping GMO´s out, but it´s almost like trying to keep back the sea... I would
be most grateful for feedback on the subject.. It would give us more
ammunition, if you know what I mean...
Marsha
