On our way to the IWC

Only a few hours until I jump on that plane for Morocco. In my role as ambassador for the Give Whales A Voice campaign, I look forward to taking the voices of Australians opposed to whaling to the IWC, where the future of whales will be discussed over the next week.

I'm so proud and so honoured to have this opportunity to join the fabulous people of WSPA at the IWC. We will spend the next week attending seminars and press conferences and making sure the Australian position against whaling is clear. And you can read all about it through my regular updates here.

This year, it's more important than ever, that our voices are heard at the IWC. For the first time in two decades, the IWC will be seriously considering a compromise deal, which would legalise commercial whaling and overturn the 20 year ban on whaling. We cannot let this happen - because there is no humane way to kill a whale. It's a disgusting, inhumane, horrific act. These beautiful animals are suffering.

It’s not too late to add your support to WSPA’s campaign, if you haven’t done this already. It will only take one minute of your time today to speak out against whaling and Give Whales A Voice. We’re taking these Australian voices to Morocco in a speech we're presenting at the IWC. I'll be there in person and I promise your voices will be heard!

Thank you so much for your support.
