Senator SIEWERT (Western Australia—Australian Greens Whip) (12:07): I move: That the Senate— (a) notes that: (i) the Japanese Government annually issues permits for the capture and killing of more than 20 000 dolphins and porpoises, and (ii) the hunting of smaller cetaceans is a deliberate circumvention of any bans on the commercial killing of whales; and (b) urges the Australian Government to: (i) condemn the slaughter of dolphins and porpoises by Japan, and (ii) recognise that the killing of dolphins and porpoises is coastal whaling. Question put. The Senate divided. [12:03] (The President—The Hon. JJ Hogg) Question negatived.
