Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. On that subject, back in October last year when Japan pulled out of the International Court of Justice, with issues related to whaling, the government made several statements about seeking further legal advice. Can the minister update the chamber on what this legal advice entailed? And outline what legal steps the Australian government is taking to prevent future whaling in the Southern Ocean?
