No, but prevent it in Australian waters and use diplomacy to discourage Japanese whaling. While we may not approve of it, we can't risk our relationship with a close ally.
@B3TZ7VF1mo1MO
No, just prohibit it in Australian waters and take a diplomatic approach to discourage it. It would be improper to act with aggression against a key ally.
@B3QHXY31mo1MO
Yes, but encourage the ending of commercial whaling- simply protecting whales in Australia's waters is not effective- whales are migratory and travel through international waters for breeding season, so the whales that travel Australia's coastline would remain under threat. Perhaps we could extend the pressure of a ban to be from Australia to Antarctica, which encompasses a large part of multiple species' migration, and is an important route for whales.
Japanese traditional whale hunting practices however should be allowed to continue if sustainable.

just prevent Japanese whaling in Australian waters and try to take a diplomatic approach to discourage Japanese whaling
@B32RT3F2mos2MO
No, just prevent whaling in Australian waters and undertake diplomatic approaches to discourage Japanese whaling. It may not be consistent with our values, but we shouldn't overly inflame relations with an ally we hold in high regard.
@B2SXP9S2mos2MO
No, but prohibit it in Australian waters and take diplomatic efforts. It may be immoral, but we should not act with aggression against citizens of a steadfast ally.
@B24STGS4mos4MO
Yes, but only if they enter Australian waters and also try to diplomatically discourage Japanese whaling.
@9TKSK4D7mos7MO
Yes, take a tough active stances on all excessive fishing within Continental Australia and Australian territory waters
