This is complex stuff. We don't teach the Theory of General Relativity in grade school, Newtonian physics or at most Special Relativity (far simpler) is enough. Similary, "XX is female, XY is male" is good enough unless you do medicine or biology in college.

I don’t think we’ve got an app in WA (Wait Awhile). I’ve pinned the emergency website to my homepage. www.emergency.wa.gov.au

No. Balancing all positives and negatives. Social, environmental and economic. I have no undeclared interest.

Sure. I’m not into making absolute statements - pretending I know absolutely. However, I am happy to give you my considered opinion that the positives of glyphosate seem to outweigh the negatives. I also won’t deride your response.

My impression from watching this debate for many years is that it is a relatively safe chemical which in many cases enables relatively environmentally-friendly agriculture (eg zero tillage). There is a lot of negative emotion around it which often seems to ignore the science.

When my better half and I worked in Abu Dhabi for a few years we loved driving into Oman for a visit. Great country, great people.
