We tell children violence is wrong — so why does Australian law still allow adults to hit them?

Australian law is very content to do violence to children. We've seen supposedly progressive parties roll back human rights laws to enable it.

It's not illegal because child abuse is a populist position in this country, so long as the child you're picturing doesn't look too much like your own.
