Rudd has Japan trembling

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has reissued a threat to Japan to cease whaling or else face legal action. I guess that’s the same threat he resurrects and rolls out at the start of every season to hold some Greenie votes.  He could send out a the Oceanic Viking like he did previously to take pics that already existed but I guess she is too busy looking after the boat people that he was going to be firm with. Does he really think people don’t notice that he is all talk and no action.  Are his advisors to scared to tell him? If you can’t actually do something about Japanese whaling then surely it would be best to just shut up. An annual threat of legal action hardly cuts it and I can just see the Japs rolling their eyes,  smiling and yawning.
