AUSTRALIA’S most famous prisoner has begged fellow Aussies to help save whales from Japanese hunters. In an incredible plea, Schapelle Corby forgot her own plight in an Indonesian jail to urge readers to sign The Daily Telegraph/Today Show petition that could stop the marine mammal slaughter.

Fool of a father
A 14-YEAR-old British girl has been arrested after protesting against whaling outside the Japanese embassy in London, inspired by the work of Greenpeace in the Southern Ocean. One video clip which showed a whale being blown up, had “hit me hard”, she said. The video pushed her to stage the hour-long protest because she felt
Bumper sticker politics
THE Australian Government has flown its first surveillance mission as forces step up around the Japanese whaling fleet in the Antarctic. The flight, by an extended range Airbus, together with the appearance of a Japanese fishing boat said to be shadowing Sea Shepherd, raise spying over the “scientific” whaling program to a new level. Didn’t
Activists promise ‘aggressive’ action over hostages
Of course they do. It’s a part of the overall PR scheme to get coverage; first harass the Japanese until they make an error of judgment, or, as happened in this case, illegally board the vessel and force the Japanese to defend themselves.

Church refuses veteran’s final wish.
Check this idiot out The Reverand Campbell refuses to allow a coffin containing a veteran to be draped with the Australian flag. “I believe the rituals of the church belong within the church building and the RSL service (should be) another event,” Dr Campbell said.
