How far from the coast of Australia were they?

Here.

The "Japanese poaching" argument depends on Australia (like France, Great Britain, New Zealand, and Norway) claiming that the Antarctic waters are part of its Exclusive Economic Zone (which part each claims depends on who first mapped what section a century ago).

However that claim is only recognised by Norway, New Zealand, Great Britain, and France.

The rest of the world believes the UN owns it.

Being a Japanese man in England, I was just so delighted to hear that those bloody leftist sheep-shaggers had their lardy arses kicked by those hard-working seamen of my old home.

The rest of the world believes that nobody owns it.

Just a foot note (for a laugh):

A certain gentleman claimed somewhere in this thread that he has an MBA, which stands for “Master Bullshit Architect” amongst some cynical British-educated engineers with a PhD around me (myself included).
