Four-time Walkley Award winning political commentator and Churchill 
Fellow, recently returned to the fray
*Islamic organisations are now fighting back to protect a billion dollar 
industry that thrives on labelling Australian products as “halal 
certified”. Now that the extortion racket has been exposed, Aussie 
shoppers are shunning the “certified” products to the dismay of 
Australian manufacturers and processors**.*

An avalanche of Australian companies are now declaring their products as 
“non-halal certified” to protect their domestic market, and the Muslim 
mobsters who control the racket are incensed at their potential loss of 
income.

Not to be outdone, Islamic certification activists, who go by the names 
of Charkawi Wesam and Abu Hanifa, are fighting back, naming and shaming 
Australian companies who are refusing to pay (or who are avoiding 
paying) outrageous sums of money to be “certified” as halal.

The implication is that Australian companies must first make their 
products halal compliant so they can be “certified”. Those that refuse 
will suffer trade bans.

Arnott’s, who has been resisting threats to its export markets from 
Muslims, is described thus on their web site:

“Arnott's clearly states that its "non-halal" status extends to 'every 
product' bearing the name "Arnott's" even the non-cream biscuits and Tim 
Tams. The company has clearly demonstrated a reluctance to change its 
stance on this community issue.”

The site http://www.nothalalaustralia.com.au/ declares in respect of 
Flora products:

"Pork based gelatin is contained in Flora and Pro-activ Light, Ultra 
Light and Flora Pro-activ Olive spreads. Whilst there are some products 
'Flora Original' that are certified 'halal' by AFIC (The Australian 
Federation of Islamic Councils) people need to be aware of the Pork 
Based ones. An investigation is continuing to determine the process and 
contamination factors that require compliance before halal can be granted.”

In relation to Golden Circle products the site states:

“Alcohol based flavours are used across some of the products of the 
Golden Circle and Original Juice Co. juice and orange ranges. 
Furthermore, after speaking directly to Golden Circle , it is clear that 
alcohol is used to derive certain flavours. The flavours are used and it 
is claimed that the alcohol is burnt off. However, with no oversight or 
some minimal monitoring in the very least, nothing can be substantiated.”
*/
/**/No “monitoring” will commence until the fees (of up to $30,000 pm) 
are paid./*

The site claims this about Smiths Chips:

“Smiths advocates a clear status of non-Halal certified, but says 
instead - that their products are ‘Suitable for Vegans.’ This means that 
some of their products do not contain any animal products. It must be 
noted that when it comes to food, the assumption is non-permissibility 
until it is proven Halal. Therefore, the onus is for Smiths to prove why 
they are Halal and simply claiming suitability for vegetarian without 
any oversight, and possible cross contamination work methods cannot be 
ruled out.”

“Smiths states that seeking Halal certification is on their agenda and 
they have been responsive to calls made.”

[Typos, grammar and misspelled words have been corrected to make the 
above quoted material more legible.]

It is clear that pressure is being applied to Australian processors to 
either comply with halal requirements or risk exports being cancelled.

One Queensland exporter has lost his entire Indonesian market by 
refusing to comply with Muslim certifiers’ demands.

Another NSW processor, who held out against Muslim demands for massive 
“certification fees”, eventually had to capitulate to save his business 
but was fined for not complying when asked to and made to pay loaded 
back-fees applicable to when he was first told to pay up.

All Australian exporters are being targeted in a world-wide $2.5 
trillion extortion racket run out of Saudi Arabia with an Asian arm in 
Indonesia (MUI) that oversees dozens of certifying agencies here in 
Australia .

Certifiers make a quick phone call to Islamic importers overseas and 
Australian exporters who refuse to comply are told to pay up or lose 
their export markets.

/**/The web site also states this: "Not Halal Australia is now 
coordinating nation wide with other halal organisations and scholars to 
determine companies that attempt to avoid halal certification."/*

The ABC and Fairfax (along with a certain radio station that advertises 
and promotes the discredited Arab Bank) naively believe “halal” is all 
about the inhumane slaughter of animals but if Minister Barnaby Joyce 
decides to return my calls, I will hand him proof of a massive extortion 
racket raising “certification” funds that go to terrorist organisations, 
laundered through "charity" front companies here in Australia.

You obviously don’t want to rock the boat Barnaby, so we will, and you 
better have your swimmers handy!
