You obviously don't buy your Vegemite from Jewish supermarkets!
Apparently Kraft has one machine which is certified by the appropriate
authorities, and it supplies the whole of Oz, NZ and South East Asia.
The customers were all going to boycott Kraft products.

I must say that if there had been a petition I would have signed. I'm
not Jewish, but I don't see why any Australian should be deprived of a
fundamental entitlement, not to mention an essential dietary component,
just because some American multinational wants to save a few bucks.
