Muslim immigration detainees in Brisbane have filed a complaint with the Australian Human Rights Commission saying they have not been given certified halal food for more than 12 months.

"After research and investigation we find out the food has been provided by Serco is not halal food and this is from the beginning when we arrive in Brisbane,” said Iranian detainee Amin Afrid.

“So it’s irrelevant where these companies are sourcing their food from, because their processes, their procedures, the other ingredients they use do not have assurances. "Many of the men have significant physical and mental health conditions, they were transferred to Australia because the couldn’t get treatment in Nauru or PNG. Adding this to that mix is not going to lead to good outcomes for their health and wellbeing."

A non-halal meal allegedly provided to Muslim detainees in Kangaroo Point alternative detention centre.Recent protests inside and outside the Kangaroo Point hotel have put the spotlight on the makeshift detention centres, referred to as “alternative places of detention” or APODs by the Department of Home Affairs.

They're only worried about certified halal food when it suits them. Pretty sure the SP Lager this Muslim asylum seeker is drinking isn't halal. 😆

🤑 Ka Ching!

Poor dears, however will they cope.

They should feel lucky to get scraps.

Cry me a fkn river.

Buy it yourself.

Islam has exemptions for halal in difficult circumstances. This is a bogus claim.

They aren’t refugees, NEXT

And these are the sort of people we're bringing into Australia? Complaining about non certified Halal free food? Best to reject these applications now. Same with anyone who riots, burns stuff etc. Detention is a chance to weed out the extremists and fanatics !

They just need to say a prayer our it and it is halal

Human traffickers, thieves, rapists and murderers want what?

Give em pork rolls for breakfast, lunch & dinner. Deport.

Who cares, they should have stopped off at one of the majority Muslim countries they passed through while scamming their way here

margo694 And Allah hasn't smited them. Also there is no halal food in the qoran. It's a scam. They really should learn their religion. Here:

Read todays Jihad report?

Shocking. And they paid so much money for it...

😡 How cruel they are😒 The Burmese army is very bad. they commits genocide, arrests Muslims, but does not provide non-halal food in prisons.Shame on Morrison government they are more cruel than the Burmese army.

This isn’t a Muslim country. You don’t get to come here under false pretences and then demand halal food. Stop the rort and put them on a plane.

Maybe the criminals they engage to smuggle them here illegally should be telling them that we’re culturally opposed to halal certification before they hand over their money. Crazy plan no doubt but it just might work! 👍

Stiff shit!

We aren't a Muslim country, suck it up and eat what you're given.

I wonder if the women and children left behind to fend for themselves have adequate food, while the men come here to sponge off our taxpayers ? Australia can no longer afford to pander to these people.

Plenty of countries they deliberately avoided as they country-surfed their way here serve nothing but halal food. Australia doesn't have to supply anything special for them...they can pray to Allah over the food & its halal. These Gimmegrants do nothing but whinge. 🤬

40,000 homeless children in Australia.

I don't think they should be locked up indefinitely. They should be fed, clothed, medically supervised, and relocated to a suitable & safe Muslim country with all haste and due care.

Fly them back home i will chip in$

RSMeanjin These are the facts. These people are NOTHING to do with Australia. They will NEVER be settled here.

RSMeanjin This is a much more meaningful story. Why the HELL should AUSTRALIANS be neglected like this?

Why don’t they just send them back and they can eat whatever they want

Oh well. I guess if things are that bad they could just head home then.

RSMeanjin Deary me, Medevac is turning out to be exactly the scam that we knew it would be. These people have all signed agreements to leave Australia after treatment. They are being resettled elsewhere. NOT. OUR. PROBLEM.

🤦‍♀️😂😂

F^ck off back to the shithole they came from and eat all the halal food they like. They only have to say a prayer over the food if they're not sure if its halal

Just another example of systemic Australian racism and apathy towards human empathy. How we treat immigrants says a tonne about how intolerant Aussies can be.

Do we need these people in Australia ?

Australians don't have human rights at the moment. Send them home...the world has changed much since they sort asylum.

And I dont get to eat T-bone or pork belly anymore either, be glad you get any food, want halal cert go back to where you came from then!

Have they filed a complaint to the UNHR about the conditions that forced them to flee from their homes.

They aren’t half shy 😣 They should had stayed home or in Indonesia before paying smugglers if they want sharia.

Duttons latest trick... Germans did the same to Jewish prisoners in similar camps in WW2. Gave them Pork knowing most would not eat it and starve to death. Dutton admires the work of Himmler in this action..

So Australia how do you want your tax money spent?

Should take a look at those without food, struggling to make ends meet; dying on the bed; old vulnerable without any help etc. Perhaps go back to their own country for better treatment & welfare?

Apples and water are halal. Remember how bogans always eat halal without even knowing about it, so it's no big deal?

I'd have cooked it rare.

I will not comment this. My account could be blocked.

callgirlashton Tell them to pick a Muslim country next time they flew over plenty of them to get here .

TimberlakeLr

....plenty of child porn though🤔👹

Find other free restaurant, in an islamic country.... If you can...

They can seek asylum in Indonesia

Do Jewish refugees get Kosher Food? 😂

Stop your complaining, next time it might be pork chops.

Yet they’ve managed to not starve to death hence proving their fairytale about permissible food is a load of s**t .

All I can say is ... ha ha ha 🖕🏻

Their religion doesn't state they need their food to be halal like that, they can say a lil prayer over it and her presto its halal.

The complaint was about incarceration for indefinite period of time. Food was a far third issue. SBS does not tell entire story, nor truthful.

Can’t we deport them to a strict halal nation? Make them happy. Give them a few hundred dollars and a ticket to halal paradise? Our nation would thank us. And they’ll be a lot happier.

They can always go back home...

What a stupid complaint. They entered Aus illegally living there good safe life. Instead of being thankful to Aus they complain. Aus should stop asylum cause people only get asylm for economic reasons not for safety.

zf's given

They sailed past numerous Islamic countries to get here, they could have stopped in Indonesia, plenty of halal food there.

Then pray over it

Ohh dear! This does not sere their purpose well!!

“We are doing enough injustice to them by locking them up without a crime' Do some research SBS. They are locked up because under the Medevac legislation they must remain in detention until they return to PNG / Nauru. Very poor journalism.

Food is food. Eat it or don’t eat it. Your Choice.

That’s easily fixed- give the ungrateful bastards nothing. Except a return flight home.

why even fucking immigrating to foreign land when u have strong religious habits , and enjoy all infrastructure at home. why not choose any other rich muslim country ?

Maybe they should have sought asylum in an Islamic country?

So they left a Muslim nation for a new life in Australia (illegally so it seems) and Australia is not a country dominated by the Muslim faith. Did they think this through?

Should Sikhs and Hindus start complaining that jhatka meat is not available anywhere here? This 'halal' mentality is sickening.

'Many of the Kangaroo Point refugees and asylum seekers are Muslims who eat halal food' ...or don't in this case.

Most people who flee for their lives to a place of safety do not complain about such things.

Boo hoo.

They obviously ate what they have given though.

Why are we letting these parasites in?

Beggars can't be choosers

The key word there is ”given“ Parasites
