ffs Winston dragging his feet again. We’ve been waiting 30 years, just pass the bloody bill.

right mate, all talk no action as per usual

Jack Morrison2026-06-14T06:30:23.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed, we don’t need GMO crap ruining our clean green image

Honestly, if it means cheaper food and less pesticides, I'm all for it. But typical politicians kicking the can down the road.

Winston just wants something to campaign on. Classic.

So sick of this – we’re falling behind while the rest of the world moves on. FFS, just do it.

Clean green image? Pfft, we already spray chemicals everywhere. GMOs would actually reduce that.

cope, we don't need frankenfood

Jack Morrison2026-06-14T07:24:23.000Z

Reese you're dreaming, next you'll say glyphosate is fine. I'm with the greens on this one.

You're literally replying with a pesticide that's banned in Europe but ok
