We have long been strong advocates for common sense on this issue. It time people stopped and thought if they had the right to impose their cultural values others .
At a media conference today headed by Foreign Minister Murray McCully and New Zealand's IWC representative Sir Geoffrey Palmer, the pair said New Zealanders needed to put emotion aside and accept that different countries and cultures had different takes on whaling.
Mr McCully said the "acceptable" part of any compromise it was yet to be agreed to, but it would have to involve a big reduction in the annual whale cull, and that was the mandate the Government had given to New Zealand's negotiating team.
And when we look at todays appalling crime statistics, our efforts would be better spent saving our kids than some oversized cows of the sea.
