"The Australian Muslim community are getting the benefit of the certifications. All money from halal services goes to the community."

 

Is that a problem?

It seems to be a problem here.

Muslim haters, whinging about Halal Cert that doesnt directly interfer with their activities of daily living in any way!

Got nothing better to do than sterotype all muslims in the same Halal basket to make themselves feel more superior!

MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL!

I have met, spoken with, eaten with many muslim folk.
They are fantastic people. They are NOT ALL secretely trying to bomb us or become the next super-power!

Fgs it's not about liking or disliking Muslims.

It's about Australian companies being virtually forced to pay a tax for a certification that is really only relevant to a small percentage of the Australian population.

And about the archaic and barbaric method of slaughter.

The fact that some of the revenue raised goes towards muslim colleges and institutions where anti-Western sentiment is taught,

That there's a well-founded suspicion that some of the funds raised from that tax is subverted to support the attacks by Islamic fighters against the West.

It deserves a Senate inquiry.

just curious grizz, do you slaughter pigs at your work?

Pigs are usually killed at a specific abattoir......they need different equipment, different yards, different everything, they stress very easily. I doubt there is one that does both.

poppycock^^^^^^^

Pigs are usually killed on a different chain...same abbs different chain..... see the link below

The point I think is that all the meat is chilled with the same recirculating air in the same cool rooms separated only by plastic and cardboard.

An ink stamp changes meat from halal to non halal.... and vice versa........... I have blessed and unblessed thousands

upon thousands of cartons

The fact that Cory Bernardi is behind this says it all.  A few kangaroos loose in the top paddock there.

"Senate Enquiry" lol    Yep, that'll fix it.  What's next ? A Royal Commission ?

If that what it takes to stop this halal labeling garage, then why not?   Why cant they just read the ingredients on the back of the label, like everyone else has to do?

Lets hope that the inquiry highlights the amount of tax's the companies who have Halal certifcation pay and the number of people they employ here in Australia.  

And the effect of the cerfication on the export businesses.

And when I last looked no-one is forcing you to eat Halal-certified foods. You have a choice.

There are plenty of businesses out there that you can give your money to, like Sanitarium (lol).

As long as you keep away from Cadburys and Vegemite, the world will be a better place for your morally uprighteous stance.  Lots of websites out there where you can source non-Halal tucker, with the side-benefit of identifying and harrassing Australian companies that have the temerity of making a BUSINESS DECISION to seek Halal accreditation to improve the reach of their products.

The ignorance is staggering.

It won't make any difference to some, they will just either ignore the results or make accusations that the inquiry was biased. They don't really want to know the reality, they will then have to find another outlet for their vengeance and bigotry.

that is a really bigoted and inflammatory statement to make.

I don't see the OP as bigoted - she has genuine concerns.
