Collins announces introduction of ‘mainstream’ Gene Technology Bill

Gene Technology Bill news

Science, Innovation and Technology Minister Judith Collins sparked a wave of negative responses after announcing the introduction of the Gene Technology Bill in Parliament.

Taking to X, Collins declared that the legislation would align New Zealand with “mainstream thought and practice” in advanced economies, improving lives, health, and productivity. However, her enthusiasm was met with skepticism and strong opposition from citizens concerned about the environmental, ethical, and economic consequences of adopting gene technology.

Users on X raised alarms about the “daunting and terrifying prospects” of gene modification. Many emphasised the unpredictability of altering genetic codes, with one commenter warning, “There are more possible combinations of humans than there are stars in the known universe,” underscoring the unknown risks this technology poses. Others expressed fears about consumer rights and transparency, questioning whether genetically modified products would be properly labelled and whether organic standards could be trusted in the future.

Some critics lamented the potential loss of New Zealand’s global reputation for premium, natural, and GE-free food production.

“We’re currently world leaders in premium food production. Introducing GMOs risks our competitive edge and could cost growers more to prove GE-free status,” one person noted. Another user called the bill “a fool’s errand,” criticising it as myopic and reflective of a lack of bold, innovative ideas in New Zealand’s leadership.

Gene technology, while promising advancements in medicine, agriculture, and environmental management, carries significant risks. Genetic modification can have unforeseen ecological consequences, such as the disruption of ecosystems or the creation of uncontrollable organisms.

In agriculture, it may lead to cross-contamination between genetically modified and organic crops, undermining organic farming efforts. Critics also warn about ethical concerns, including the potential misuse of the technology for eugenics and the monopolisation of genetic resources by large corporations.

“Terrible decision,” one user wrote. “Let’s have a referendum, since we’re a democracy and all…”

  1. “Would align New Zealand with “mainstream thought and practice” in advanced economies’, which is code for other Zionist occupied governments. Another 30 pieces of silver sell out.

  2. This is a truly terrible decision, unpinned by repulsive WEF/WHO alignment. The claim asserting that advanced economies are improving lives, health, and productivity is an utterly malignant lie. The mRNA/LNP shots revealed the truth.
    Regressive “economies” wedded to globalism, ESG scores, UNEP climatism dogma, rainbow ideology appear destined to meet social, biological, economic, moral, and ethical dead-ends of destitution, de-population, de-industrialisation, dependence, de-legitimisation, and death.
    Such a shame the NZzzz had its spine removed by successive globalist puppet governments.

  3. That’s a dealbreaker for most people across a broad spectrum of political beliefs, it will weaken National and whoever supports it.

    • Too greedy to see they, National and its cronies, are going to haemorrhage support over this. New Zealanders value clean safe food and an environment to match.

  4. The NZ Greater Sanhedrin jewish proselyte what-not useful idiots lackeys and stooges puppet show continues unabated aligned with the Rothsheild Reserve Bank of NZ tethered to the policies of the IMF World Bank

    • Look at covid
      Nobody has claimed responsibility for the underlying unequivocal categorical undisputed facts and scientific evidence as to the debilitating and devastating effects of these fake vaccines that have turned peoples lives upside down
      For nothing
      And the lockdowns that have destroyed the economy
      We quibble over the paltry amounts being discussed in procuring new ferries but no mention is made of the 64 billion wasted on a virus that has never been proven to exist
      And that amount was in 2022
      This is treasonous seditious behavior with many implicated in collusion and in collaboration if not through tacitness
      There are 5 million vaccine damaged victims in the US
      What We have got is Cheshire cats walking around and gloating with unremorseful unremittent grins in denial of and blatantly lying disputing the fact that they forced people to take covid ‘clotshots’ to keep food on the table against their better judgement and of their Own volition
      This isn’t a govt
      It is a criminal cabal enterprise of shysters and fraudsters
      As is patently obvious

    • Kim Dot com post from X. Zionist World Domination Plan aka One World plan of World Jewry
      This may be the most important post you’ll ever read because it provides a simple explanation about why our world is being destroyed, by design. I’m not antisemitic or a Nazi. I’m simply a former hacker with great analytical skills who understands what’s happening in the world. At the end of this post I will quote from a world domination plan. You will recognize the truth immediately because that’s what’s currently happening in the world. Today’s reality suggests that this plan is real. When you do your own research you will learn that the origin of this plan was discredited and that the alleged creators have nothing to do with it. But who was the person providing the key evidence? It was Allen Dulles. The man who raised money from US industrialists to fund Adolf Hitler, his Nazi party and his war. The man who later became the director of the CIA during Kennedy and the head of the Warren commission that investigated the Kennedy assassination. Why would anybody believe a man with such a questionable character? The protocols of the Elders of Zion have unquestionably borrowed ideas from several authors but you can say that about most important writings throughout history. It was called a fabrication and is one of the first uses of the term ‘conspiracy theory’. Why do Zionists have a massive overrepresentation in the media, politics, banking and world affairs? How did such a small community get to dominate all the centers of power and information? Why can Israel ignore UN resolutions, international law and commit a genocide in Gaza to standing ovations in the US Congress? Why is Israel acting like it is above the law seemingly without any fear of consequences. Read some of the alleged Zionist world domination plan below and compare it with reality. Is all of this just a coincidence? “Our power will be more invincible than any other, because it will remain invisible until the moment when it has gained such strength that no cunning can any longer undermine it.” “We shall absolutely control the media, so that not a single announcement will ever reach the public without our control. In this way we shall have a sure triumph over our opponents, for without the media, they are helpless.” “We will distract the brainless heads with vain conceptions, fantastic theories, rotten amusement, games and filthy passions, so that they will be unable to use what intellect they have. They will never suspect that they have been stage managed by us.” “We shall establish huge monopolies so that all will go to ruin when the political smash-up comes. We must at all cost, deprive them of their lands, we must lower wages and raise the price of all necessities of life.” “We shall create an economic crisis, which will stop dealings in all exchanges and bring industry to a standstill. We shall throw onto the streets whole mobs of workers, simultaneously, all over the world, who will rush to loot property and delight to shed blood.” “In our government, besides ourselves, there must only be the mass of enslaved people, a few billionaires devoted entirely to us, police and soldiers. To do this we must create chaos and hostilities and we must use all deceit, treachery and falseness possible. Our greatest weapon is the media.” “We shall establish one king over all of earth who will annihilate all causes of discord, such as borders, nationalities, religion, state debts, etc. and get peace and quiet which cannot be secured in any other way. To attain our ends we must foment trouble in all countries, utterly exhaust all of humanity with hatred, struggle, envies, torture, starvation and diseases so that the people will be forced to take refuge in our complete sovereignty.” “Our master card has been and is and shall be the destruction of all privileges, on the ruins of which we shall set up our absolute autocracy.” Please be mindful that most pro-Israel comments on social media are generated by the largest bot network in the world, not by real people.

  5. Vile environmental, human health and economic cowboy ism, that only benefits big foreign companies like Blackrock, from another bunch of globalist sell outs…..and they have the cheek to blather on about climate change….total crock of shit………LIARS………

  6. The United Health Care fiasco has already proven that AI’s function counter to human interest. (Apparently, the CEO of United Health Care approved and encouraged the company’s use of an artificial intelligence which always found ways to deny claims.) This alone should give one pause. Any man and his dog can go online and purchase a CRSPR kit to use in his/her/their garage. Interesting to see what opposition parties have to say about this.
