Guest guest Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Apologies are not nearly enough. It seems to me that all the companies who were persecuted in the witch hunt should receive remuneration of all legal costs, for lost income, for bad publicity. AND both criminal and civil charges should be lodged against the officials responsible for the witch hunt.

The pharmaceuticals giant was forced into administration in May 2003 following the largest pharmaceutical recall in Australia's history. " It was a pointless exercise targeting complementary medicines and it sent hundreds of small businesses broke " , Democrats leader and Health spokesperson Senator Allison said today. " The Howard Government turned its back on the mess and just walked away. " 1500 products were recalled, not because they caused adverse reactions, but because of speculation about 'inconsistent quality'. Senator Allison raised concerns in the Senate at that time about what was playing out as a destructive over-reaction. Mr.Selim was accused of a litany of charges, including breaching his manufacturing licence. In the end only two counts made it to court which were thrown out today. " The unprecedented recall had a devastating effect on small businesses and shook public confidence in complementary health " , Senator Allison said. " The very least those who have suffered deserve is an apology.
