It's so blatantly false it'd be more polite if they just got their arses out and mooned the next IWC meeting.<br /><br />Kathryn - Sorry if I've stolen your thunder there. That curry just looked liked the least appetizing thing I've seen in a long while, and couldn't be ignored. And yeah, Australia is probably the junior partner trade wise, but this is pissing off a lot of other countries as well. I just couldn't be bothered looking up all the various sources for them.kamohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10785763841038321633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596203844533164378.post-42792180102051515612011-11-14T20:38:12.625+09:002011-11-14T20:38:12.625+09:00I never realised that Australian's were meant ...I never realised that Australian's were meant to be the vanguard of anti-whaling until I went to Japan. Then people kept trying to justify whaling to me. I was actually planning to write a post on whaling myself.<br /><br />As for pissing off a trading partner - I think Australia needs Japan more than the other way around which is why the government doesn't get involved in the whaling.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08699328937978331608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596203844533164378.post-54947431958486726362011-11-14T20:24:25.641+09:002011-11-14T20:24:25.641+09:00"Don’t they realize how bad this makes them l..."Don’t they realize how bad this makes them look in the eyes of a lot of the world? Don’t they realize how much diplomatic capital it’s costing them to indulge the final incontinent spasms of a dying industry?"<br /><br />Like you mentioned below...the fact that they have to swallow other shit like U.S. bases on their turf...which is their own fault for not revising Article 9 makes them lash out like an ignorant child with few chances to actually lash out.<br /><br />The fact that they claim it's for "research" just makes them look more stupid.Chrishttp://badboyinjapan.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
