Manslaughter and illegal in the same sentence can cause some contradictions. Manslaughter, it should be noted, is a mitigated form of murder. Manslaughter exists as an alternative verdict to murder always! Manslaughter, however, is a criminal offence which under the constitution is a STATE matter not federal. So it is wrong to ask if it is illegal in Australia when each state has laws that vary. But yes manslaughter does suggest that there is some culpable wrong that warrants punishment and is therefore illegal.
