From their FAQ:
Is beer suitable for 'vegans'?
"Brewers worldwide have used Isinglass for the clarification of beer in storage for decades. Due to the introduction of new allergen labelling legislation, Australia's brewers ceased using fish finings late in 2003. Foster's assessed many alternatives for its replacement and selected a collagen based process aid, derived from Australian beef. The Australian Food Standards Code permits the use of this processing aid. Our filtration process removes yeast and finings.
We do continually reassess and evaluate our processes and the process aids we utilise. As such, we are presently reviewing an alternative, which is not derived from animals. "
