My question is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Senator Payne, your New Zealand counterpart, Winston Peters, put out a press statement today about the fact that the Japanese whaling fleet had left for another summer of slaughter in the Southern Ocean last night. When I checked before question time, you or your department hadn't made a statement. Could you please take this opportunity to make a statement to the chamber today and outline what you're going to do about it?
