The contentious meeting of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) has closed out with no significant changes to whaling regulations. The Australian delegate, Federal Environment Minister Senator Ian Campbell, complained the IWC process was corrupted. There have been allegations of of bullying and vote-buying, with fingers mainly pointed at Japan. The writer of a useful blog for fins magazine notes that next year's meeting is going to be a lot rougher.
