Whaling
Under the JARPA II programme of so-called 'Scientific Whaling', the Japanese Government continues to hunt and kill thousands of whales. The Japanese plan to expand the hunt to include fin whales and humpback whales, the mainstay of Australia's whale-watching industry. The Greens have consistently called for a global ban on commercial killing of all whales and other cetaceans, except for sustainable indigenous subsistence hunting.
