February 21 2010, Japan's foreign ministers talks with his Australian counterpart were overshadowed by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's threat to take Tokyo to court over its controversial whale hunt. 
Rudd and Japanese Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada had a "frank discussion on whaling", after the Australian leader vowed to take Japan to the International Court of Justice if it didn't stop harpooning by November. 

 Okada is the first official from Japan's new government to visit Australia. Rudd bluntly warned Japan, a major trading partner and top export market, it had nine months to reduce its current whale catch to zero. 

"If that fails, then we will initiate that court action before the commencement of the whaling season in November 2010".
