They say all things come to he who waits.
While North Coast Voices has to confess that it was more a case of 'we didn't have the time right now' to chase up the names than one of stealthily waiting for Monsanto lobbyists in Australia to raise their heads, the result has been the same.
Along with the regular 'Mr. Monsanto' another visitor to our blog turned up yesterday morning - one Edelman PR in Washington DC.
Now Edelman PR - Asian Pacific (with offices in Sydney and Melbourne) lists Monsanto as a client in India.
However, this company is entirely absent to date from the Australian Government Lobbyists Register.
One could conclude that this company was not active as an Australian lobbyist at the federal level; but with domestic clients such as Coca-Cola, Samsung, Pfizer, Shell, The Scotts Company, GlaxoSmithKline, Roche, Boots Healthcare, BristolMyersSquibb, CSL, iiNet and Origin, it is an unlikely that this is the case.
The fact that Edelman has Monsanto as a client rather puts a whole new light on its own Food and Wellness Report 2007.

Researching websites and digital social networks in which to embed the GM giant's message perhaps?
