I move:
That the Senate—
(a) notes That the whaling presence in the Australian Antarctic Territory now includes a Japanese self-defence vessel with a capacity for 250 personnel as well as a Korean flagged refuelling tanker; and
(b) calls on the Government to take urgent action to address the escalating situation, including sending a monitoring vessel to observe the whale hunt.
Question agreed to.
