FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The anti-whaling activist group Sea Shepherd is lowering the gangplanks of its vessels, the Bob Barker and Brigitte Bardot, to Sydneysiders this weekend.
The US-based marine conservation society is in Circular Quay as part of a fundraising campaign to gather donations, including vegan food and ship equipment, with crew members taking people onboard for a tour of the ships.
The group says it wants to thank members of the Australian public who have supported its campaigns in the Antarctic to stop whaling.
But Andrea Gordon, ship manager of the Bob Barker, also called on Australia to do more to protect whales in Antarctic sanctuaries.
“I wish that Australia would … actually send a patrol vessel down to the Antarctic whale sanctuaries to prevent the illegal commercial killing of whales,” Ms Gordon said.
The federal government filed a complaint in The Hague in 2010 to stop Japanese whaling in the Southern Ocean, but a ruling is not due until next year.
“In that time many, many whales are going to die,” Ms Gordon said.
The government has previously said that taking the proper legal course, not protest activities, is the best approach.
Ms Gordon said the group is also confident charges that led to the May arrest of its leader, Canadian-born Paul Watson, will be dropped.
Watson was arrested at Frankfurt airport and is currently facing extradition to Costa Rica over charges he endangered crew during a 2002 campaign to stop shark-finning in Guatemalan waters.
“We go up against some very dangerous people and conditions, but we’ve never had a single injury in our 35-year history,” Ms Gordon said.
