In the sport of Australian Rules Football, the 50-metre penalty is applied by umpires to a number of different infractions when a free kick or mark has already been paid.
Some (particularly amateur) leagues and competitions use a 25-metre penalty. Examples include the SANFL, VAFA, Australian Football International Cup and Australian Amateur Football Council.

Famous quotes containing the word penalty:
“Plato says that the punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government, is, to live under the government of worse men; and the like regret is suggested to all the auditors, as the penalty of abstaining to speak,—that they shall hear worse orators than themselves.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
