Anti-GM protestors expect biggest en masse texting in New Zealand history

Anti-GM organisers are working frantically to create a groundswell of support in the lead-up to the end of the moratorium, on the release of genetically modified organisms in New Zealand, according to The New Zealand Herald.

"They are hoping protest marches being held around the country tomorrow will demonstrate just how deep anti-GM feeling is among middle New Zealand, forcing the Government to change its mind on the issue.

Greg Menendez, of the "Take 5" campaign to get the moratorium extended for a further five years, said marchers would send a text to the campaign's number at the start of the march.

"I guess it's likely to be the biggest en masse texting in New Zealand history," he said. "
