NSW: Father and son fined over health inspection assault
A father and son have been fined 35 thousand dollars for assaulting a New South Wales
food authority officer .. during an inspection of their chicken abattoir.
ALI and HASSAN SALIM have been fined 23 thousand dollars and ordered to pay costs of
almost 13 thousand dollars in the Chief Industrial Magistrates Court .. over the May 2005
incident.
The men threw one food inspector up against the wall .. and verbally threatened both
him and his colleague as they were touring the Halal Chicken Farm at Rossmore .. west
of Sydney.
The fine also relates to a number of hygiene issues at the abattoir .. where chickens
were being sold with faecal matter and stomach contents.
Primary Industries Minister IAN MACDONALD has welcomed yesterday's decision .. by Chief
Industrial Magistrate GREGORY HART.
Mr MACDONALD says it appears to be an appalling and cowardly attack on two state government
employees who were out in the field .. and he applauds the penalties.
