I don't have any problems with the LDP-except I wish in English it wouldnt be called LDP. That translation is very misleading.

They will meet and talk and Australia will feed information to Japan and Japan will feed Australia economics-probably having nothing to do with whales-....and to make sure the talks work out, and cover all the eating issues, they have already arranged talks ahead in the future.....Cause I mean, we are…
