Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. My question—and I repeat it—is: will the government be seeking an injunction for what the minister representing the minister just described as a breach of international law? I ask the minister: if the government is not seeking an injunction, why not? And, on the date line he has given, I ask the minister: is it true that somewhere between 2,000 and 10,000 whales will be slaughtered by the Japanese while we wait for a long court process? What other action does the government have in mind to protect those whales?
