Hi Roy et al
A entire issue of Australia's 'New Scientist' magazine has very recently
been devoted to the antics of Monsanto and the GM industry.  In Britain
activist groups have been pulling GM crops out of the ground....and getting
good media too.  Anyone wanting info or email list addreses please contact
me.

And while on the topic of multinationals - the Australian Government has
just announced that it will not be signing the MAI (Multinational Agreement
on Investment).  Hooray!

Sarah Benson
