URGENT Action alert! (Prior to 17 February 2025)

GE Free Northland Action alert!

Kia ora koutou

Please circulate widely- help us oppose the undemocratic and extreme proposals in the Gene Technology Bill.

The National Party Science Minister quietly released the Bill just a few days before Christmas 2024, hoping we wouldn't notice.
(and remove all ethical considerations and the Precautionary approach)

Unregulated Gene Editing threatens people, animals, our biosecurity, wider environment, farmers, economy, and export markets!

Are you ready to take action against the government's plans to de-regulate outdoor GE/GMOs in Aotearoa?
