Interesting comment as Whittaker’s chocolates are also halal certified. Refer to their FAQs on their website…
Choice has covered Halal certification, it is worth reading this information from an impartial and independent organisation. If you class the Commonwealth government (who manages Halal certification in Australia) as exhorting money, then that is your prerogative.
The very small cost for certification increases the market opportunities for the companies who chose to have their products certified. These increased opportunities increase their profits which more than covers these small certification costs.
There are threads on this community which discuss halal certification and what it means for the consumer. It is also worth reading these threads.
