Australia's first GE canola harvest

Greenpeace activists enter a genetically engineered (GE) canola field
trial near the border of South Australia and unfurl a giant 20m x 30m
banner in the field, reading 'GE CANOLA KNOWS NO BORDERS'. The action
comes two days after the New South Wales (NSW) Government officially
announced that it would join Victoria in commercially growing GE
canola. (c)Greenpeace/Ascui NO ARCHIVE NO RESALE CREDITLINE COMPULOSRY
