Senator WHISH-WILSON (Tasmania) (14:41): Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. The government has previously announced these details. In 2013, Minister Hunt said, 'The government must make a statement immediately. Have whales been slaughtered in Australian waters, if so what are they going to do about? Whaling should never be occurring but for it to occur in Australian waters is an utter failure in Canberra.' This was when he was in opposition. Was Minister Hunt right then? And what is different, now, three years later? Why won't you disclose information about what the Japanese are up to in the Southern Ocean?
