“Looking at the conflicts of the 21st century, the use of space is directly linked to military superiority on Earth.” Japan is ramping up its defence footprint in space, as the lawlessness of space raises big security concerns. My latest w/ @yumi_asada

Japan is criticised as a child abduction hotspot, with the courts granting sole custody to the parent last with the child. No joint custody. An estimated 150,000 Japanese are impacted a year, and presently 15 Australians and 22 children in Japan. https://t.co/VYbaAGaKXs
abc.net.au
Japan's sole custody laws have long been criticised for incentivising child abduction, but the system may be about to change, with Australia playing a key role behind the scenes.
