My question is to the minister representing the Minister for the Environment, Senator Birmingham. In the 2013, the coalition promised to continue action to stop whaling in the Southern Ocean by committing to send a Customs vessel. What action is the government now taking to monitor the illegal Japanese whaling in the Southern Ocean? And can the minister update the chamber on how many whales have been illegally slaughtered this year?
