Australia's Prime Minister has dismissed Japan's claim that it is killing whales for scientific purposes. Kevin Rudd says no one seriously believes Japan's position. And he says Australia will deal with the challenge of whaling, despite the strong bilateral relationship with Japan. After a meeting of the Australian Cabinet, Mr Rudd says Australia will make a detailed announcement later this week of how it will use the military to monitor Japanese whaling ships.
