For more than 20 years Australian governments have tried through diplomacy to end Japan's whaling without success. When we came to office we promised to resolve the matter once and for all in the International Court of Justice and we are honouring that promise. Proceedings against Japan were initiated in 2010 and I can inform the House that tomorrow an expert legal team will start representing Australia and presenting our case before the court in The Hague in the final phase of proceedings.
