Genetically Modified Crops

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (15:27): Can the minister answer: how many exemptions to GM crops have been granted by the previous government, and is the current government considering exemption applications?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:27): I thank the member for his supplementary question. I am aware of course that there is still a moratorium on growing GM crops on Kangaroo Island. I am not myself aware of other exemptions, but I am happy to make inquiries and come back to the honourable member to answer that question.

The PRESIDENT: A further supplementary.
