[Pil-pc-oceania] GetUp Poll - Put GM-free on the agenda

[Graeme George - Earthcare Permaculture]

Deb

I was also disappointed to see that only the top three issues got 
listed. These are the issues that will be taken up with the politicians, 
which means that the "Peoples Agenda" is going to be rather brief. The 
GetTogether held here had Food Security in our top three.   I'll be 
raising that also in our meeting with our MP Fran Bailey. It would be 
nice to know how all the national issues, raised at the GetTogethers, 
ranked.

Cheers
