South Australia enacts strict laws to keep abusive parents away from schools due to a surge in parental bans.

South Australia is implementing new laws to help schools manage abusive parents, following a 200% rise in parental bans in public schools over five years. Principals can now bar individuals who threaten school safety from coming within 25 meters of the school, with bans extending from three to six months and penalties increasing from $2,500 to $7,500. The measures apply to public, Catholic, and independent schools.
