Murder - you actually intended to kill the person, and succeeded (otherwise it's "attempted murder"). Manslaughter - you did not intend to kill the person, however it is because of your actions that they died (for example driving too fast and crashing the car, killing the other passengers in your car).

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.
