Whaling
Humpback whales a target
This summer Japanese whalers will be back in the Southern Ocean carrying out a wholesale slaughter of whales under the guise of science. But for the first time since commercial whaling stopped they will also be targeting humpback whales alongside minke and fin whales. Humpback populations are only just beginning to recover from the exploitation of 200-odd years of commercial whaling, which is estimated to have wiped out 90 percent of some populations. The Green Party, along with the government and NGOs, will once again be working to try and put an end to this needless slaughter.

As we continue to contribute to a better world, our foreign policy will have the force of credibility to the extent that our domestic policies meet the standards we promote globally.
