Breaking News story in Australia, the Australian government plans to spy on the Japanese whaling fleet using an armed P&O cruise ship, with a lesser role for the Australian Defence Force.
High-level talks have focused on leasing the commercial vessel, Oceanic Viking, which has a re-enforced hull to cut through ice, a crew trained for polar conditions and "super-telephoto" lenses to record the whale slaughter.
The ship plans to take video footage of the whale slaughter for an International court action agianst the Japanese whale harvest.
Customs and Coastal Surveillance will co-ordinate operations to monitor the Japanese whalers through an umbrella body, the Border Protection Command (using the Ocean Viking, PC-3 Orion aircraft from South Australia and other naval vessels such as Navel frigates and helicopters)
I can't post the url for the story just go to the Sydney Morning Herald web site.
This is fantastic news for future seasons, but it may be to late for the 50 Humpback whales, lets hope the 'Steve Irwin' can make the harvest less profitable.
