South Australia has lifted the moratorium on growing GM crops in all parts of mainland South Australia, except Kangaroo Island which has an established non-GM canola market in Japan, despite Australian MP’s voting against the decision in November 2019 (see AgbioNews Nov 28, 2019). The removal of this moratorium was initially proposed in August (AgbioNews Aug 20, 2019) following an independent review undertaken in 2018 where it was estimated that the moratorium has cost South Australian grain farmers at least AUS$33 million since the 2004 enactment.
