The Tasmanian Government's ban on genetically modified crops is set to continue while a parliamentary committee reviews the policy.
The Joint House Select Committee has been given an extension for its investigations into whether Tasmania's moratorium on genetically modified organisms (GMO) should continue.
The committee's chair, David Llewellyn says a two month extension is necessary because recommendations have not been finalised due to the complexity of the issue.
Local organic farmers claim genetic technology poses too many dangers.

Well here's hoping that common sense will prevail and keep this ban on. Genetically modified food has a potential health hazard and due to contamination a threat to all farmers and should be declared a biohazard.
