Senator WHISH-WILSON (Tasmania) (16:10): I move: That the Senate calls on the Government to: (a) send a Customs vessel to the Southern Ocean now That the whaling season has commenced, as it is important that Australia has a Southern Ocean presence given the ongoing risk of confrontation between whalers and protestors; and (b) ensure That the resources devoted to patrolling illegal foreign fishing are not diverted to other activities, including That the Australian Customs Vessel Ocean Protector and/or its replacement is provided with sufficient funding to devote an adequate level of patrol days in the Southern waters every financial year.
