My question is to the Attorney-General. Three ships of the anti-whaling fleet and Sea Shepherd docked in Melbourne this morning, but their captain, Paul Watson, has been unable to join them because of the possibility of his arrest. Has the government been asked by the Japanese government or anyone else to arrest the Sea Shepherd captain, Paul Watson, if he comes ashore in Australia? Has a warrant been issued for his arrest? Can the government give the Australian people an assurance that no action will be taken against Mr Watson if he comes ashore?
