Why is whaling important for Japan?

It isn't. Whaling in Japan exists purely for selfish reasons, such as luxury whale meat in top restaurants. Whaling is illegal by international law. So Japan are breaking the law. Iceland is also a whaling country. When Iceland made an application to join the European Union, they were rejected, purely because they allow whaling and Europe doesn't want to be associated with such illegal activity. Dozens of species of whales are on the brink of extinction because of whalers. There are many organisations trying to protect whales from Japanese whalers, such as Sea Shepherd and Greenpeace - who often attack Japanese whaling ships with smoke bombs, paint grenades and water cannons. The government of Chile even threatened to sink the Japanese whaling ships if they came near Chilean waters.

Is there Australian whaling vessels?

There are no Australian whaling vessels if regarding Australian companies that catch whales in Australian waters. Many lobby groups, environmentalists and others with similar concerns have actually been known to be ardent in their attempts to stop whaling through protests, legal action, lobbying and even physical action. There have also been many protests by such people whaling sometimes bordering on violent vigilante acts. While a recent incident has went so far as involving Japanese ships whaling in Australian waters close to Antarctica sparking a reaction from the Australian government to press charges upon Japan at the International Court of Justice. Thus it is quite impossible that there ever would be any Australian whaling vessels.
