Malcolm Turnbull urged to pressure Japan over whaling during security talks
They’re being hypocrites,” he told Guardian Australia. “You can’t have your cake and eat it too.”
Australia took Japan to the international court of justice over its Southern Ocean whaling program in 2014, winning a judgment that condemned Japan’s whaling programs as being in breach of the International Whaling Commission’s ban on commercial whaling. The court rejected Japan’s argument that its whaling was for “scientific” purposes.
can’t have your cake and eat itに注目しました。『ジーニアス英和辞典』（第五版，大修館）を引いたところ、 have one’s cake and eat itのかたちで「菓子を食べてなおその菓子を持っている；二つとも（何もかも）上手くいく」と載っておりました。インターネット辞書サイトCambridge Dictionaryによると、 否定形の意として (can notで)“to have or do two good things at the same time that are impossible to have or do at the same time”とのことでした。(Gomez)
