Who is WE? Some Australians do need their meat to be halal certified.

And I'll ask you, as I asked Nero, do you have any evidence to show that meat sourced from an abattoir that is halal certified is more expensive than meat certified from one that isn't?

WE = as only 2% of the population need it, the other 98% dont need Halal certification.

and as there is a cost for this Halal certification it has to be passed onto consumers, who do you think is paying for it????

Fine. Then don't blooming well buy it. The food is labelled anyway so making a choice to choose another product isn't rocket science.

Sheesh! 

Well we're not blooming-well buying it. We're boycotting it. What's your problem with that?

Sheesh!
