In 2010 and 2011, the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils (AFIC) declared that their income from halal certification was “around” $700,000 a year. AFIC is just one of at least 21 agencies that can halal certify meat in Australia. Interestingly the 2012 and 2013 reports are not easily found and even the Vice President had difficulty getting his hands on them. He was quoted as saying, The secrecy surrounding the financial management of the group was appalling. I was denied the opportunity to inspect our finances, despite my requests made plainly three times, and duly noted in the minutes. In France, the UK and Canada it has been proven that halal certification schemes directly fund organisations such as Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organisations determined to destroy the West. In Canada alone it was found that $14.8 million dollars had been funneled to Hamas from halal certification money. It is time for the Australian government to investigate the money trail in Australia.
