In both the US and Australia there has to be a reason for assaulting an intruder. You have posted that it is illegal to use force on an intruder in Australia and that is not true. Depending on the circumstances it can be perfectly legal. I concede that in the gun crazy USA it is easier to legally maim or kill an intruder. But what all this is about is you posting that we can not do that here. In reality we can do exactly that here if we have the means to do so AND are being seriously threatened. Your post stating that we can not legally injure or kill an intruder in Australia is simply false.

The approach generally adopted in Australia differs significantly from the “stand your ground” approach to self-defence that has been influential in the US.
