What does manslaughter mean?
Manslaughter is a legal term for the killing of a human being, in a manner considered by law as less culpable than murder. Manslaughter is usually broken down into two distinct categories: voluntary manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter. Voluntary manslaughter occurs when the defendant kills with a guilty mind (intention to kill or cause serious harm), but there are mitigating circumstances which reduce culpability. Voluntary manslaughter is a lesser included offense of murder. Involuntary manslaughter is the unlawful killing of a human being without a guilty mind. It is distinguished from voluntary manslaughter by the absence of intention. It is normally divided into two categories; constructive manslaughter and criminally negligent manslaughter.

Is manslaughter illegal in Australia?
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.
