Default Japan

Kevin Rudd is playing politics with Japan lately. He left Japan which was until recently our largest trading partner off his first world tour because of his governments disagreement with Japan on the whaling issue. This was like saying 'before you decide to come to Australian waters to whale, you should consider Australia's interests first because you cannot act with impunity and not consider Australias interests/feelings on the issue.
