Northern Territory Environment Centre (NTEC) is requesting the Territory Government to legislate against commercial invasion of cotton manufacturing companies.
Presently, NT Government does not allow cotton industry into the Territory; however the Government has not issued any order in this regard.
Two companies, Monsanto and Bayer, have applied to government to introduce genetically modified cotton crops in northern Australia.
NTEC spokesman urges that Government should take legal actions to stop that happening.
If Government approves these applications, it will create a lot more pressure for the Northern Territory to change its policy and allow cotton growing in northern Australia, he said.
