It is clear the Australian Government is now reneging on its commitment to fight the Japanese whaling at every level. They are now resorting to limited opposition to whaling through diplomatic channels which are little better than "talkfests"!
The Australian people are generally forthright, bold and honest - their Government is not reflecting such qualities in the whaling situation!
