Good to see this local company, contributing to our economy and employing Australians, has reversed its decision to not have Halal accreditation for their excellent dairy products.

They stood up to the ignorant on-line bullies and thugs who harrassed them in the first place to change their mind.

Cue all those "Waa waa will NEVER buy milk from Fleurieu Milk & Yoghurt Company again waa waa waa.  Would rather buy from Parmalat or some other foreign-owned multinational dairy company that rips off their farmers and screws their consumers and makes carpy product but that's OK because we aren't funding ISIS waaaa waaaaa waaaa."

Well, no doubt an economic decision to benefit their export line. 🙂

Brave business decision on their part when you think back to the campaign that was run against them. I wonder if they still have a FB account?

We talked to a lot of people we respected, other business owners and politicians, and decided we had made a rash decision.”

“We didn’t want to be perceived in a manner and be associated with these boycott halal and anti-Islam groups, so we made the decision to become halal [certified] again.”

Hutchinson says the deal was of major importance not only because Emirates purchase a significant amount of dairy product from Fleurieu Milk Company, but also because it opens the company up to international and tourism markets it may otherwise not have access to.

But Hutchinson says critics of halal-certification have continued to mount a campaign against the company’s decision.

“There has still been a lot of heat, without a doubt, but there has been support as well. We decided at the end of the day it was the right decision, we decided to make a stance,” he says.

Standing straight and strong in the face of bullies and haters and doing your own thing in spite of them - what better example could there be of  of uplholding those "true blue Aussie values" some people make sush a fuss about.

Unpleasantness seems to be a common denominator it the anti-halal people.

Pity those who live with them.
