 | | Greens MHA Peg Putt who was a member of the six person committee which contained representatives from the three political parties in the Tasmanian Parliament and independents from the Legislative Council (upper house) is generally pleased with the Committee Report, which is a consensus document. |
 | | Ms Putt says that the avalanche of information supplied to the Committee led members to conclude that whilst Tasmania’s key markets were antagonistic to GE foods, or at the best lukewarm, a cautious approach to protect market share and our clean, green image by remaining GE free was the only sensible short term option. |
