Lets wander off on another angle. I support the Greens. I even occasionally throw them some donation money.

Perhaps you strongly object to the Greens political party, as many people here do. Maybe you don't. Let's assume you vehemently loathe them, which is your right to do.

Now, I am also a software developer. There is a strong possibility you have used an Australian website or piece of software that I have been involved in. Hence, you have indirectly funded the Greens unknowingly, the same political party you loathe.

Exactly at what point does your 'care threshhold' get triggered off? We all have one. Halal does not really register on my 'care threshhold', but Bernardi and his bible thumping does. Like I said before, if we had a Koran thumper in parliament, there would be 10x the objections, and I would be a part of that crowd, I can assure you.

Two points of difference,

Political parties need to register donations,
Halal certification is not a donation, it is essentially a tax on certain items which is often not disclosed.
