As part of the Australian governments fight to combat terrorism, the government should pass legislation to ban all halal certification fees. These fees, paid by ordinary Australians on everyday food and grocery items directly support terrorism. Items such as Vegemite, an Australian icon for decades, now include a mark-up for halal certification - a mark-up which directly supports terrorist organisations. In some cases the food or goods do not even have the halal certification symbol, making it impossible for the consumer to know whether what theyre buying includes this hidden tax or not. Because of this, Australians with a conscientious objection to paying for halal certification might be inadvertently supporting terrorists without knowing it. The Australian government should ban the collection of any fees for halal certification.https://change.org/p/the-hon-tony-abbott-mp-ban-halal-certification-fees
