    They don't. The practice of male circumcision is close to dying out in Australia, because mothers refuse to have their sons circumcised.

    AUSTRALIA

    Australia, like other English-speaking nations, once had a high incidence of non-therapeutic child circumcision in the twentieth century. The incidence of non-therapeutic child circumcision approached 90 percent much as in the United States.

    The publication in London of the famous paper, The Fate of the Foreskin by Douglas Gairdner on 24 December 1949, seemed to have no influence in Australia.

    The world-famous Australian circumcision advocate, Professor Emeritus Brian J. Morris, Ph.D., was circumcised shortly after his birth in South Australia in 1950.

    The article by I. O. W. Leitch, Circumcision – A Continuing Enigma, which was published in June 1970, along with other papers by Burrell and Durham Smith, seems to have been influential in starting change.

    The following year, in 1971, the Australian Paediatric Association resolved that circumcision should not be performed as a routine measure. That resolution was reported in a letter by S. P. Belmaine, which was published in the Medical Journal of Australia on 22 May 1971.

    Thereafter the incidence of non-therapeutic child circumcision in Australia declined steadily and by 1978 less than 50 percent of Australian newborn boys were being circumcised.

    The incidence of non-therapeutic circumcision of the newborn continued its decline and in 1996 the Australian College of Pediatrics estimated that only ten percent of Australian boys were being “routinely” circumcised.

    The incidence of non-therapeutic child circumcision remained in the 10 to 15 percent range for some years.

    The Australian College of Paediatrics was merged into the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP).

    The number of intact males exceeded the number of circumcised males in 2000. That majority of intact males increases with each passing year.

    The various Australian states operate public hospitals in which free medical care is provided. One by one, all Australian state hospitals have stopped providing non-therapeutic circumcisions.

    The RACP issued its most recent position statement on child circumcision in 2010. The RACP summarized its position as follows:

    “After reviewing the currently available evidence, the RACP believes that the frequency of diseases modifiable by circumcision, the level of protection offered by circumcision and the complication rates of circumcision do not warrant routine infant circumcision in Australia and New Zealand. However it is reasonable for parents to weigh the benefits and risks of circumcision and to make the decision whether or not to circumcise their sons.”

    The boys who were NOT circumcised after 1971 are now becoming fathers. Fathers with intact foreskins usually do not want their sons to be circumcised. This new generation of non-circumcised intact fathers has caused the incidence of non-therapeutic circumcision of boys to decline once again. The incidence of circumcision in 2018 is reported to be only four percent.

    The practice of non-therapeutic child circumcision has been almost completely abandoned in Australia. The arguments of Professor Brian Morris, Ph.D. have been rejected by the Australian people.

    The women of Australia love having men with a whole penis because it is easier to give hand jobs and because there is less abrasion of the vagina during sex.
