Aussies enraged by YouTube video
The Australian government sharply condemned Jan. 7 a popular Internet video claiming its citizens oppose Japanese whaling because of racism while brutally killing animals such as kangaroos and dingoes.
Foreign Minister Stephen Smith criticized the video as he announced that Australia will deploy a ship to the Southern Ocean to gather evidence for possible legal action against Japan over its research whaling program.
