The likelihood of an Australia-Japan showdown escalated as key International Whaling Commission nations failed yesterday to agree on a compromise that would have allowed hunting to continue in the Antarctic for 10 years.
The Florida meeting underlined that Australia's hardline position was becoming isolated, heading into the critical IWC annual meeting in June.
New Zealand, Australia's longtime anti-whaling ally, now backs a compromise. US commissioner Monica Medina indicated Washington could support the plan, depending upon the yet-unspecified numbers of whales Japan, Norway and Iceland would be permitted to kill.
"It is a difficult decision and the US government would never take a position that would support commercial whaling or endorse it," Ms Medina said yesterday.
"But on the other hand, right now we have no way to stop it."
Japanese officials, who conditionally favour the compromise, have warned that Tokyo would regard Mr Rudd acting upon his threat as a serious diplomatic provocation.
