To (Politicians Name), As an Australian consumer I am frustrated and concerned by the practice of halal certification in this country. I do not wish to support any brand that pays an Islamic religious tax to have their product halal certified. Less than 2% of this population is Muslim and I do not want to fund special religious rituals or political campaigns to increase the presence of Sharia Law in Australia. I am also concerned about possible animal cruelty in the halal slaughter process. The Koran does not stipulate anywhere that a product must undergo certification for it to be halal. Despite this many companies are paying for halal certification and not displaying it on their labels or even on their websites. Sometimes it is even difficult to get such information when calling the company directly. What can be done about making it law to display halal certification on labels so consumers can make informed choices about the products they buy? Yours Sincerely,
