My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for the Environment and Water, Senator McAllister. Fin whales are listed as vulnerable to extinction by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. What are your government's views on Japan's decision to add endangered fin whales to its commercial whaling program, and are you aware of disturbing reports that Japan has slaughtered its first fin whales in more than 50 years?
