Senate moves for stronger government action against the Japanese whaling fleet

Submitted by takver on Wed, 27/02/2013 - 1:26am

The Australian Government has an official policy of opposing the Japanese whaling operation in the southern ocean whale sanctuary, but officially it is very quiet. Not so much as a peep from the media releases on the Federal Minister for the Environment Tony Burke MP or the Australian Foreign Affairs Minister Senator Bob Carr's websites. This is despite several ship collisions between ships of the Japanese whaling fleet and 3 Sea Shepherd Australia vessels that have already occurred near Antarctica in the Australian Antarctic Territory and in Australia's marine search and rescue zone.

Federal election Oz 2013

THE FIBERAL SCAM OF THE CENTURY: FEDERAL ELECTION OZ 2013

Beds are not the only things burning now.

The roof, the roof, the roof....

Highlighting Australia's current climate of political mendacity and opacity, when PM Julia Gillard announced the federal election date as September 14 disingenuous Jews with right-wing agendas broke cover waving yarmulkes and ridiculously complaining they were being disenfranchised because it coincides with Yom Kippur, the curious cultural phenomenon when no "observant" Jew is permitted to move, breathe or shit.

Oh, duh!
