If a Labour government is elected under the leadership of Kevin Rudd, Japan may find itself driven out of a large area of Antarctica where for 20 years they have been illegally slaughtering whales with impunity.

That would be good news indeed! Too many politicians (all over the world) talk about being tough, but then never really follow through on international matters such as these. Let's hope that some actually "put their money where their mouth is."

wow, I am a peace loving person but there is a limit

this is my suggestion:

Burt Rutan, the undisputed leader of the independent flyer / plane builders of the world, built a prototype inexpensive jet for the US marines.

While I dont think this lightweight flying cannon is necessary for the US, Oz could definitely make good use of it to eliminate the world of this collection of pure anti-empathy.

I am in my group Empathy defining what is wrong with the world as the actions of the unempathic people. While I have attracted attention from asperger's advocates, I think I can pretty solidly define our problem as being a uncurable but stoppable genetic defect.

Pirate whale hunters is a great place to start. Judging from the novel Moby Dick,I think that the whaling industry has always been aware of the human-level empathy of whales. They have no excuse, so lets blast em.

Peace doesn't work w/ the anti-empathic, it only increases their sense of hunger to kill us, and whales.
