Under the new changes, ration packs should also contain kosher and vegetarian meals to help combat “menu fatigue

 

Do you have any problems with the veggos in defence, or is it only Muslims you're going after here? What about the Jewish members, are they allowed to eat "their" food?  I only ask because you have specifically titled your thread Halel Diggers.

 



What I actually object to, Lurks, is that our government is paying for halal certification at a time when they should be reining in government spending, to pander to a small minority in our defence force.

are they??   the govt. should rein in spending on all their travel that we pay for too

 

really there are lots of things they could be cutting back spending on...

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!  Actually, most food is nowadays halal/kosher certified so it does not cost us anything extra.  Actually, if anything will make the meals more expensive, it will be vegan.  And in any case it does not cost the taxpayers millions.  I thought most people by now understand how halal works, but then again I would not expect from Corry any better.

Halal certification for the ADF should be one of them.

 

I wonder if this is an innovation of the Australian of the Year's?

It follows the controversial decision last year by the Army to remove the motto “In this sign conque...because the phrase is associated with the Crusades — and that could be deemed offensive to Muslims.

 

 


That is probably prudent action when invading Muslim country

ONE third of combat rations ­offered to all Aussie troops now has to be halal-certified, despite the Australian Defence Force having fewer than 100 Muslims.

 



I wonder if it has to be OR is.  If they Vegemite, and many other staples, they just are certified, and many other food stuffs are halal, even if they are not actually certified.  So why on earth would somebody waste their time even mentioning it?  Maybe trying to divert attention that the government is lurching from one silly idea to the next.  So here we are discussing this old furphy, when we should be really talking about the LNP wanting to dismantle MEDICARE, outsource pensions, and now I heard that they thought it would be a great idea to abolish fuel excise and replace it by tolls absolutely everywhere on every road!  Yes that would be economical to have the toll  scanner on every corner.
