Submissions Are Now Open for the Gene Technology Bill – Make Your Voice Heard!

The Government is rushing through radical changes to New Zealand’s gene technology laws, putting farmers, growers, and exporters at risk of unfair costs, trade disruptions, and uncertainty. The Gene Technology Bill has passed its first reading and is now with the Health Select Committee.

This is your chance to have your say! Public submissions are open now and close on 17 February 2025.

Why this matters:
This isn’t about being for or against GE. It’s about ensuring a fair, transparent process that protects Aotearoa’s GE-free reputation.

What’s next?
We’re now hiring a legal team to review the bill and preparing submission templates to empower our communities to take action. Stay tuned for more updates and our submission guide that is coming soon.
