Accepting halal certification is accepting a part of sharia. It is a version of Islamic religious tax imposed on majority non-muslims. It is convert as most suppliers do not inform that their product is certified. The certification organisations dispense the majority of their profit to muslim concerns which is not transparent.

It is increasingly difficult to purchase in my own christian country non Halal certified food, it is against my beliefs and i do not wish to pay a religious tax on my products, it is disgraceful and un Australian.

Request Labelling of Halal certified item and stop private enterprises to control the certification... Should be controled by Australian government only , no extra fee added to products ...

I live in a country that embraces democracy except when it comes to food, I am forced to eat food I wish to avoid including that which is halal certified, this underhanded sneaky deceitful movement has taken away my democratic right of choice. What will be next? the clothes I wear?

fully agree with this. clear and proper labelling is a must to be able to make an informed choice ad a consumer. if i feel i need to donate money to any religious organization i will do that buut i strongly object to this fraudulent way of obtaining some of my money.

We consumers are not getting a voice in what is Halal Certified and what it not.. I am not racist at all but we as consumer's have to carry the cost of the spin off of the fees.. Of course it is passed onto the consumer which is unjust.

I am not happy to pay my money on halal certification! This is an entrepreneurial venture, becoming rich on the back of taxpayers. No thank you.

Iam denied my choice as a consumer. All halal products must be in isles clearly labelled and marked, "halal products in this isle" Why should consumers have to pay for halal certification?
