Abstract or Summary:

This paper considers possible liability issues associated with existing and future biotechnology products introduced into Australian agriculture, including the commercial introduction of genetically modified (GM) crops. Its principal aim is to determine if there is any basis for concerns expressed by some farmers and others that GM technology may impose costs on their businesses for which they may not be compensated.
