Labour Party

Strongly agree

No, the potential for irreversible ecological damage is too high

This aligns closely with Labour's 'precautionary principle' regarding biotechnology. Their environment policy emphasizes managing risks and ensuring that no irreversible ecological harm occurs through the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms (HSNO) Act.

Slightly agree

No

Labour has not committed to releasing GM predators and generally favors current methods while funding research into new technologies, reflecting a cautious stance on any actual release.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only if it replaces the use of 1080 poison

Labour acknowledges the public desire to find alternatives to 1080, but they consistently defend 1080 as a necessary tool and have not explicitly campaigned on replacing it with GM technology.

Neutral

Yes, it is the only realistic way to achieve Predator Free 2050

While acknowledging the difficulty of the 2050 target, Labour hasn't officially stated that genetic modification is the only realistic solution, keeping options open for multiple technological and community-led approaches.

Slightly disagree

Yes

While Labour supports the Predator Free 2050 goal, the party has historically maintained a precautionary approach to the environmental release of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), preferring strict regulation over immediate adoption.

Strongly disagree

No, we should not play God with the genetic code of nature

Labour is a secular party that bases its environmental and scientific policy on risk assessment, ecological evidence, and regulatory frameworks rather than theological arguments like 'playing God'.
