Is it definitely legal in Australia? A lot of us have a tendency to look at things from the perspective of US law. I don't think it should be illegal; spanking hurts, but it's not going to cause any lasting harm, even bruises, unless a parent is genuinely abusive. As far as I'm concerned, you can have a doctor look at the kid's ass the next day and conclude the parent is innocent if there aren't any marks and they're only doing it as discipline..
