SYDNEY — Australia’s prime minister today set a November deadline for Japan to stop its research whaling program that kills hundreds of whales a year in Antarctic waters or else face legal action.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said Australia would prefer to use diplomatic means to persuade Japan to end its hunt.
“If that fails, then we will initiate court action before the commencement of the whaling season in November 2010,” he told the Seven Network.
