Full news conference with Pete Bethune, the anti-whaling activist recently returned from Japan.

Mr Bethune is a member of Sea Shepherd, an organisation target Japanese whaling in the Southern Seas.

He was tried on various charges in Japan, including assault after boarding the Shonan Maru II, a vessel he says deliberately crashed into his boat, the Ady Gil.

Mr Bethune was found guilty amid scenes of unrest in Japan - but escaped prison after being given a suspended sentence.

He has since vowed to return to the seas, protecting whales from Japanese whalers.
