I recently (25th April) received a letter from the Aussie Assistant Treasurer Bill Shorten in answer to my letter of 7 July about Sharia Finance (ten months to answer, not too bad...), which I've yet to get around posting. I guess I'm working to Aussie Politicians' time on this one. I'll get to it in due course. [Update: posted as jpeg below]
In that letter Shorten says that providing Islamic finance "would not be setting a precedent". ie, for more Sharia.
Well, here we are. Note: there is no "moderate variety of Islamic law". Sharia experts are agreed on this.
Thanks to reader DC, who notes:
Like clockwork.. Of course there's no precedent Shorten, back to sleep mate....
