Corporal punishment is lawful in the home in all Australian states and territories. In early 2021, the Tasmanian Commissioner for Children and Young People called for a repeal of s 50 of the Criminal Code Act 1924 (Tas) which permits the use of corporal punishment in the home, noting that society had moved on from the regular canings of the early 20th century when the law was passed. This article supports the call to abolish the defence of reasonable chastisement (lawful correction in NSW) by repealing s 61AA of the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW) so that children can have the same protections from physical violence as adults.

新南威尔士州的体罚：呼吁废除第 61AA 条

在澳大利亚所有州和领地，在家中体罚是合法的。2021 年初，塔斯马尼亚州儿童和青少年事务专员呼吁废除1924 年《刑法》（Tas）第 50 条，该法允许在家中使用体罚，并指出社会已经从对20 世纪初，该法律获得通过。本文支持通过废除《1900 年犯罪法》（新南威尔士州）第 61AA 条废除对合理惩罚（新南威尔士州的合法矫正）辩护的呼吁，以便儿童可以像成年人一样免受身体暴力。
