THE newest ship in the anti-whaling Sea Shepherd fleet has left Hobart, bound for battle in the Southern Ocean.
Former Australian Greens leader and recently appointed Sea Shepherd director Bob Brown waved the SSS Simon goodbye at Macquarie Wharf this morning.
Tasked with leading the anti-whaling organisation's Zero Tolerance operation against Japanese whaling, Dr Brown said he had told the crew the whole of Australia thanked them for their mission.
"They are going down to uphold the law -- they are friends of the whales," Dr Brown said.
"The Japanese whaling fleet are across the equator, heading south to illegally kill whales in a global whale sanctuary."
Dr Brown is directing this season's Antarctic whale defence campaign after his long-time friend and Sea Shepherd founder Paul Watson stepped down from the role because of international legal action against him.
