No direct link between Halal certification and TERROR!© - Aussie cops

The extremist Bernadi launched a senate inquiry into Halal certification in Australia, sure he'd find evidence that it was being used to fund TERROR!©  He's not having any luck in that regard however with both the Australian Crime Commission, and Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC), saying there is no evidence of any direct links between Halal certification in Australia and TERROR!©

Angela Jamieson is the national manager of compliance at AUSTRAC, which monitors the flow of money into and out of the country, flagging suspicious transactions and financial activity. 

"Of the information identified from this monitoring of reported financial transactions, none of these have been assessed as related to funding of terrorism with regard to halal certification fees," Ms Jamieson said.

The Australian Crime Commission gave similar evidence to the inquiry. "We have found links between money laundering, terrorism and serious and organised crime but we haven't found any direct links between halal certification and the funding of terrorism," said Hamish Hansford, the ACC's national manager of strategic intelligence and strategy. 

"Since this issue has been highlighted in the press, we've been on a heightened lookout for any links between halal certification in our intelligence holdings and to date we have not found any direct linkages." more

What a complete waste of taxpayer's money and senate time this inquiry is. One would hope that the culling of Abbott and Co from the Lieberals would encourage a more moderate tone than to demonise Australian Muslims.
