If you are required by law to put a fence around your pool and include a child-safe door, and you fail to do so, and a child drowns — why shouldn't you be liable?

(Although I think many from the US may interpret a "fence around a pool" to be an overreach of government regulation. But in Australia, "barrier laws" exist in every state/territory to avoid accidental drownings.)
