You choose to ignore me and the truth
You are getting one single item claiming it is 100th of a cent on that
item.
A ll Halal Certification was ever intended for was the meat export
industry. Now it has been hijacked by crooked charatans none of them
anything to do with Islam. None authorised by our government.
The fact that they can even be allowed to ebnter food premises is
shocking!
algal certification is not only on one item
This illegal scam is being applied to *everything* one puchases and
services like pre-schools, etc and the shopping outlets themselves.
Last count there are now 37 "certifiers" threatning extorting
businesses throughout Australia.
It is working and costing BIG money for Australian consumers
Just one shop has to pay these criminal leeches $5000 a year
protection money!
iT JUST DOES NOT APPLY TO ONE ITEM
A TAX on EVERTHING

THE COSTS TO LOCAL BUSINESS
Mr Mohamed El-Mouelhy (there he is again) of Halal Certification
Authority Pty Limited sued a small retail kebab shop, Sofra Pizza Pide
& Kebab House, and their wholesaler Quality Kebabs, in the Federal
Court of Australia. Both were displaying a halal certification logo
which they randomly printed off the internet without paying the fees.
The food outlets told us they didn’t know they had to pay any fees
because they were sourcing directly from a halal certified
slaughterhouse.
They were completely oblivious to the fact that every supplier in the
food chain had to pay the halal tax. They displayed the logo simply as
a means to confirm to their customers they were sourcing their meat
from a halal certified supplier.
Once notified that the logo was a privately owned logo, and had to be
removed, the kebab retailer did so immediately.
Mr El Mouelhy sued anyway.
The landmark case inadvertently cracked open just one small area of
the “confidential” fees, publicly exposing just how substantial and
insidious the pyramid of halal certification schemes are in the kebab
food chain alone.
The publicly available court documents show that had a small takeaway
shop paid for the halal certification it would have cost $5,000 per
year. No small change for a small business.
Multiply that by all the pubs, kebab shops, pizza shops, cafes, pie
shops, burger chains, coffee shops, sushi shops, chicken shops,
canteens, bakeries, butchers, ice cream shops, grills and restaurants
etc in the country, then start to add the 80% of foods and produce at
the supermarket and you can start to see the unknown billions
redirected from our domestic food economy, to the pockets of the halal
moneymen.
The court document goes on to say:
"Quality Kebabs has obtained the benefit of operating its business on
the basis that it has been certified by the applicant when, in fact,
it has not. There are no great difficulties in assessing the expense.
Quality Kebabs has avoided having to pay by falsely asserting it was
certified by the applicant."
Mr El-Mouelhy’s documentary evidence was that his fee (without GST) to
wholesalers was $27,090 in 2012, $33,580 in 2013 and $34,510 in 2014.
Quality kebabs had to pay what was equivalent to the 2012 fee of
$27,090.00 plus a 50% uplift of $13,545.00. Total fee payable for 2012
= $40,635.
On top of that they had to pay the 2013 halal certification fee of
$33,580.00, plus a 50% uplift of $16,790.00. Total fee payable for
2013 = $50,370. That’s a total of $91,005.00.
That doesn’t include what Quality Kebabs would have had to pay for
2014 which would have been $34,510.
What these court documents don’t address is that for Quality Kebabs to
be halal certified they need to source their meat or chicken from a
halal certified abattoir or chicken processor, in this case Steggles.
Some abattoirs pay up to $27,000 a month to be halal certified, or
$324,000 a year. Chicken processors pay around $40,000 per year.
Truckies who drive chicken supply vans from a chicken processor to the
takeaway shops are charged $500 each in halal certification fees.
So you can have an abattoir spending $324,000 in halal fees. Then the
transport company is paying hundreds of dollars to drive the product
to the supplier. In this case the supplier has to pay $34,510 in halal
fees.
Then the transporter again has to pay a few hundred dollars to a halal
certifier. Finally the little retail outlet has to pay $5,000 in halal
certification fees.
This totals in excess of $364,000 paid in halal fees before you sink
your teeth into a kebab and that's just one of many kebab businesses.
And they expect you to believe these huge costs are simply "absorbed"?
The particular halal certifier, Mr Mohamed El-Mouelhy, in this court
case said proudly on national television, “Halal certification has
made me a millionaire” and he uses the money to, “buy my wife shoes”.
Allah must be very pleased with him.
