      Depends on the ethical spectrum one follows. I, along with many others, follow utilitarian ethic, which measures every action by the total amount of good it leads to. This is in direct benefit of the society and pays dividends to keep a healthy society. I also follow the libertarian ethic, which is not a universal ethic, which is that any action without consent is an act of violence, unless they are themselves the perpetrators of violence. Gandhian ethic cuts out the caveat for enacting violence even against a violator. There is also a deontological ethical theory or Kantian ethics. And there is ethics of religious type.

    I'm not saying I agree with this, I don't, it's horrible, it shouldn't happen. However, as a person who's worked on these strawberry farms in Australia, I've seen their owners and staff hire hundreds of Asian workers and treat them like slaves, and the same goes for the backpackers travelling through, who work here for their Visa extensions. I was horrified to see the way staff were treated.
    The Australian farmers aren't governed on how they treat their staff. So I can only think this is a horrific tactic by the workers to get back at the farmers.
    The authorities MUST review WHY this is happening, and not react on the action alone. I'm very confident if the Authorities looked into this, they'd find a different world for how the Australian farmers treat young people trying to experience Australian Life in poor conditions.
    But as always, ALL News Outlets only report one-side stories.

    For those of you guys who think that this wouldn't lead to murder: Watch the show monsters inside of me.
    There are multiple cases in the series about instestines being pinned by foreign objects. One episode a metal bristle from a grille cleaning brush got ingested at a bbq and made it's way all the way down and pinned a guys intestines. His sphincter which is meant to keep fecal matter from going up into his upper digestive tract couldn't do it's job properly due to the situation and the guy was puking up his own feces!!!! If the needles get stuck in the throat it could make a person drown in their own blood! There are so many bad things that could happen.

      Blah That would result in having needles in compost. Unless you go through the extra step of removing all the needles, you might accidentaly stab yourself while working with it. No composting company would want to buy strawberries that could cause them to get sued.

    For myself, I'd buy them anyway. I want to help the farmers, so I'd just cut them up before eating them. There are a lot of things you can do with strawberries wihout getting hurt. Why dont they sell them to all places that serve alcohol. Strawberry daquries are wonderful. I'm just concerned aboit the kids eating them b4 parents get a chance to cut them. Maybe when they catch all the rat-bags that are doing this, they could keep all the fruit with needles & let them eat them. Those people should definitely have to pay farmers back until they are fully paid, even if it takes the rest of their lives. Putting them in jail wont do much for the fsrmers to get their money back. I say get them a job & make at least half their pay be given to farmers. Putting them in jail will mainly mean that tax payers will be paying for them to be there, including farmer's taxes that will also be used to feed the mongrels. Make them pay FINANCIALLY to garmers. They could be given 2 or more jobs, leaving them too tired to do anything else but sleep & work.

Strawberry farmers' lives are also at stake, and campaigners are urging to public to continue to buy strawberries (and cut them up before consumption) to support the nations farmers' livelihoods.

      if a needle is found then the strawberry wouldn't be used to make the jam... and really the needles are inserted when hey are in the shop, if the jam maker take the strawberries straight from the farmer then there will be no needle concerns.

      @@WeiYinChan erm... I don't really think so, as it is believed that the needles have been inserted by people picking and packaging the needles into the punnet. By the time it reaches the hands the hands of the jam makers, rust from the needle would have already contaminated the strawberries.

      Sirius Snazz again, if there is needle in a strawberry the jam maker would just not put that one in. And most cases are copy cat cases, the ones who got caught were mostly kids, so no, most of the contamination happens inside the shop

    We used to buy a brand of mixed vegetables for stir fry. I don't remember what grocer sold it but on two occasions there were rusted partials of safety pins in the peas casing. They we're safety pins with the hinge and lock broken off essentially leaving behind a needle.

    Imagine a man in a warehouse just spending hours piecing strawberries with needles.

    This is horrible. Hope they rethink the condemns and give this people a serious punishment. Not only the people life is in danger but the entire industry.

    You can use a strong magnet to detect if there's any needles inside your strawberries, I just put a sewing needle in a strawberry & I could feel the attraction of the magnet pulling the needle, it's a better solution than just hoping.

    This is sick. One whole industry has been crippled because of this. All the farmers losing out. Have these people no thought and empathy?

    What kind of severe sadist does that? Just by the amount of Innocents affected, farmers affected and wastage of food and natural resources itself, this demands maximum punishment. These kinda people with sick mentality should not be shown any mercy
