A report on circumcision in Australia.
Australia, like other English-speaking countries, once had a rather high rate of non-therapeutic neonatal circumcision of male infants, however Australia now has a very low rate of non-therapeutic neonatal circumcision.
History
The incidence of non-therapeutic neonatal circumcision in Australia approached that of the United States in the 1930s through 1960s.
Douglas Gairdner,s famous, classic paper, The Fate of the Foreskin: A Study of Circumcision,[1] seems to have had no effect in Australia.
The Australian Paediatric Journal issue of June 1970, published three articles critical of non-therapeutic infant circumcision.[2][3][4]
