Has Shaw got the Greens to agree to a GM u-turn?

TVNZ reports:

Climate Change Minister James Shaw has not ruled out the use of genetic modification – however, he says it should be a question for the public and he would be led by the science around the issue. 

This is a huge policy change by the Greens co-leader.

The Greens previously have been against all genetic modification. Shaw is now saying he would be led by the science.

Luckily the science is clear. Sir Peter Gluckman said that the science is settled that GM is safe.

I look forward to hearing from other Green MPs that they will also be led by the science on GM.
