"FORTY years ago conservationists feared that humpback whales were being hunted to extinction. Now numbers have returned to such a level that they have been taken off the danger list."
At least that is one of the good news stories in yesterday's The Australian. It continues:
"The latest count stands at 40,000 mature individuals, meaning that, for now at least, the humpback is safe from the threat of extinction.
Several other whales, such as the blue whale, the biggest animal on earth, and the sei and southern right whales, are also growing in number after similar scares."
Because DECC is incompetent.
Australians kill Colin. Why did it take so long?

Two posts by the blog stalkers and not a word on topic. Last we heard of Luke he was under his desk, taking comfort from Mr Thumb, in the foetal position.
Yup Luke. But hippos are intelligent and way more attractive. I'm sure the diggers would love him walking on the same side of the street.
>The important thing to do when dealing with hypocrites is to maximise exposure of that hypocrisy.
I'd say he and his fellow AGW in-denialists have this little ditty pasted up on their toilet wall.
Hope your mother hasn't got a cat Luke. Oh that's right, back peddles, it was humour. LOL!
So where are those studies Mott on Antarctic ecosystem cascades? Pffttt!
Hey Trav - speaking of hippo-crites - it's a wonder that waddler can spend so much time debating the philosophical details of international politics. Probably has a wireless comms link at the Eureka stockade on the Murray Barrages beaming out the news on Redneck One radio in between banjo tracks. They won't need siphons - they could just use the big vacuum. He's probably writing the entire denialist essay on Australian grazing research when he's not philosophising about decking his fellow Australians, beating dept officers or torching the national estate. Being a sell-out Jap whaling sympathiser is an interesting position for someone who tells bulldust stories about cenotaphs and debts to society. It's a wonder his own lot haven't fragged his butt by now.
Absolutely, David. The important thing to do when dealing with hypocrites is to maximise exposure of that hypocrisy. If certain governments seek to wrap themselves in a veneer of morality whilst condoning acts of piracy then they deserve no freebies at others expense. Japan should drag this out to maximise the scale and extent of discomfort.
And if certain countries decide they would rather ignore key international conventions, especially those in respect of criminal conspiracy, then Japan needs to test the value of those conventions and selectively withdraw from those that do not maintain reciprocality.
Ian, I don't have much faith in certain members of the international community (glancing southwards), but the PR-spin value of having SS cult members on interpol's international wanted list is probably going to be quite valuable.
And if my lack of faith in the international community works out to be well justified, it will also be good PR-spin value having those uncooperative members of the international community exposed for not meeting responsibilities under the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against the Safety of Maritime Navigation.
