End of ban on genetically modified canola

Charles said, " However if the Monsanto shareholders, politicians & 
licensing farmers  are convinced of the benign properties of their crop then 
why not   offer a non-expiring indemnity."
Hear, hear! Well said Charles. I think this should be the requirement of 
those who import anything into this country. the problem is that companies 
can go bust or restructure to avoid meeting their obligations.
So what I suggest is that they have to lodge a bond which goes into the 
future fund. This is not the limit of their liability and there could even 
be a growth factor for them as well as the community. Their money could then 
be released when we are confident that they have not introduced another weed 
species or caused other harm. Maybe this could even be linked to the success 
of the biosecurity mechanism so as to give those who have 'invested' in this 
way an incentive for strict controls rather than their diminution.
