Context
: AN
international animal rights group has lost the first round of a legal battle
against a
Japanese company it says kills whales inside Australia's Antarctic whale sanctuary.
The
decision follows a submission by the Federal Government to the court saying
it could take no
action against whaling company Kyodo Senpaku Kaisha Ltd because Japan did not
recognise Australia's
jurisdiction in the area. The Humane Society International's (HSI) said Kyodo
Senpaku Kaisha killed around
440 minke whales inside Australia's Antarctic Territory each year and had slaughtered
whales
within the sanctuary every summer since 1987.
Other
point of reference is the Fremantle Heritage Festival along with the huge disputes
that have
plagued owners of Heritage Listed properties who can't renovate anything..
