"And what about the status of the Heard and McDonald Islands? I think we need to discuss that and treat it as a seperate matter as that was in fact sovereign Australian territory before being stripped of us in the Antarctic Resolution. We have no plans to conduct high-intensity research there, it is only a small place and hard to inhabit due to its terrain. We would see the return of that territory as more a symbolic gesture by Sweden to reconcile its relations with Australia, one less thorn in the side of the relationship."
