Japan Faces an Ultimatum from Australian Prime Minister for Whale Overfishing

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

According to the Associated Press this Friday, Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd "threatens" the Japanese government that until Japan stops their over whaling programs, Australia is itching to take international legal action before November of 2010, the next whaling season. In which case, Prime Minister Rudd pressures Japan to face an International forum, where Australia would present all of the evidences they have gathered up to this point.

Long before this over whaling issue was brought into public notice, the anti-whaling nation has been monitoring Japanese actions. It has been two years since Australia sent an investigative ship after a Japanese whaling fleet in the Antarctic Ocean, and has successfully returned with purportedly serious evidences.

While everyone would think this issue is a bit trivial, it is not for Australia's marine ecologists and preservation groups, especially that Australia, by itself, is utterly strict against whaling.

Australia is a toothless tiger. They have don't have enough economic clout to threaten any sort of meaningful sanctions, nor do they have enough international political clout to bring about any change.

Ah is that why their average home is now worth twice that of any in LA. Or why their unemployment rate dropped to 5.3%, in this global recession.

You're just another idiot from a bankrupt state that likes to run their mouth for the sake of speaking.

Next.

Once again, displaying your overwhealming ignorance on this subject. You cite nothing to actually refute what I said. Face it, Australia is just an ineffectual country of no real significance on the world stage. Keep spouting your made up housing prices to make yourself feel better though. Douche.

It did sound familiar, but I was lazy and caught up in the moment.

Nothing to be proud of, Boo.

It just means you have to work twice as hard to buy the same house.

Next the Aussies are going to threaten again to follow the ships but stay far away to collect evidence.
