Yes, I do. In my home state of South Australia, an Adelaide mosque's own records indicate that it earns $200,000 a year from halal certification, and yet, by their own admission, the cost to operate that process is just $300. If this government is committed to removing red tape, and given the scams in this industry, will the government accredit one national certifier funded by a cost recovery, rather than allow the racketeers to profit at the expense of every Australian?
