Oh poor Australian Minister. He does not understand the need for science such as Japan conducts, as it is responsible to do so. The research is important for the sustainable use of whales, that we hope to eat.

This simple lesson must be severe for the Minister to understand. Because…

bobbyoddjob,

This is a shameful primarily commercial exercise that must and will stop.
