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..
