Yes, but require the labelling of foods that are genetically modified

Agree
Yes, but producers should not be able to patent seeds
While the Australian Labor Party has not explicitly stated a position on the patenting of seeds, they have shown concern for the potential negative impacts of corporate control over agriculture. In 2013, the party supported a Senate inquiry into the ownership and control of Australian agricultural land and agribusiness, which included concerns about the patenting of seeds. This suggests that they may be in favor of limiting the ability of producers to patent seeds.
