Parent‐child mediation in family law
The inclusion of children in family mediation is a much‐discussed topic in Australia. However, the debate tends to centre around indirect modes of participation (normally via a child consultant), with parents remaining the mediating parties. By contrast, in continental Europe, children are increasingly welcomed at the mediation table, and in 2018, France officially included parent‐adolescent mediation in its family mediation structure.

Delimiting Detention
The detention of persons in residential care in Australia has received little recognition. Given also the absence of human rights frameworks in most Australian jurisdictions, it has been argued that Australian governments resist the idea of deprivation of liberty in social care settings. However, the South Australian case of Public Advocate v C, B (‘Public Advocate Case’) may signal a turning point. This article analyses developments in South Aus…
Of Welfare, Sacred Places, and “Rice Christians”

Such organisations may be faith-based, leading to the emergence of what Asians colloquially call “rice Christians”: persons who (allegedly) convert to a religion in order to access services, or out of loyalty to the aid-supplying organisation. Such converts may continue …

Beyond the exception of "reasonable cause," homeschooling, or elective home education, is in principle prohibited under the laws of Hong Kong. However, there is evidence of a growing homeschooling community in Hong Kong that relies on loopholes in the law and an apparentde…

Is Anything Left of Children’s Rights
In this article it is argued that parental responsibility offers a weak basis for the protection of children’s rights due to its emphasis on (1) responsible parents’ determinations of welfare and (2) the concomitant nature of rights to duties. Based on these two premises, courts have often either neglected children’s rights, or have subordinated them to the rights of duty-holders (parents) when deciding on matters falling within the scope of pare…
