Scientists renew objections
to Japan’s whaling program
• Experts have concluded there is no justification for
Japan to kill whales for research purposes.
• In the report from the annual meeting of the
scientific committee of the IWC, 44 scientists from
18 of the 33 countries attending the session on
Japan's research whaling program wrote, “the need
for lethal sampling has not been demonstrated.”
• An IWC statement accompanying the report says:
“It was not possible for the Scientific Committee to
reach a consensus view of the overall program.”

Whale hunt to be resumed
this year, official says
• Japan’s chief whaling negotiator says the hunt in
the Antarctic will be resumed this year despite a
call by global regulators for more evidence that
the expeditions have a scientific purpose.
• The scientific committee of the International
Whaling Commission said in a report Friday that
Japan has failed to give enough details to explain
why it wanted to kill almost 4,000 minke whales in
the Antarctic over the next 12 years.

Why so crazy about sport?
• Cure for self-doubt, fear, paranoia?
“a young nation without a long
history of historical and cultural
achievement from which to draw
self-esteem…Our convict origins and
our uneasiness at our geographical
location so far away from the Europe
most of us relate to, make us
somewhat of a cot case on the scale
of national paranoia.” (Williamson 2000:10)
‘Cultural Cringe’ (A.A. Phillips, 1950)
• Australia’s colonial mentality (殖民心性)
manifests itself in an inferiority complex
(劣等感) among local intellectuals, such as
writers, scientists, and artists.
• In contrast to the lack of pride in domestic
intellectual culture among ordinary people,
Australians tend to be overly proud of
locally produced athletes & sports(wo)men

What are ‘the Ashes’?
• Australia 1st beat England at home in 1882
• The next day a newspaper carried a mock
obituary (死亡記事)
• The mythical ashes became a reality when
England won in 1883 in Australia – the captain
was presented with an urn containing the burnt
remains of a bail （ベイル《三柱門に渡した横木》.）
• Even today, ‘the Ashes’ remain in the safekeeping
of cricket's spiritual home, Lord's (London).
2009: England win Ashes again
2010-2011: England won the
series 3–1 and retained the
Ashes (in Australia!)
2013 Australia wins 5-0: whitewash!
Are the English arrogant? Does
everyone in Australia hate the English?
• According to Professor Carl Bridge of the
Australian Studies Centre at King's College
London, the Aussie animosity should not be
confused with genuine hatred.
• "It's a backhanded way of saying, 'We like you,'"
says Professor Bridge.
• "It's because the English are seen as part of the
family that they can be insulted round the dinner
table. It shows the respect and rivalry that exists.
• "It's like insulting your brother. It's great fun.”

Australian Swimmer Ian
Thorpe Comes Out as Gay
• Australian swimmer and five-time Olympic gold
medalist Ian Thorpe announced he was gay this
weekend after years of denials, in a tell-interview
that aired in Australia Sunday night.
• “I’m comfortable saying I’m a gay man,” he told
British interviewer Michael Parkinson on
Australia’s Channel Ten, the ABC reports. “And I
don’t want young people to feel the same way
that I did. You can grow up, you can be
comfortable and you can be gay.”

compensation the apology is just a show”
